Ranked the 44th in Fortune Global 500, NTT is the largest telecommunications company in Asia, and the second-largest in the world in terms of revenue. While NTT is listed on Tokyo, New York, and London stock exchanges, the Japanese government still owns roughly one-third of NTT s shares, regulated by the NTT Law (Law Concerning Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, Etc.). Once established as a monopoly government-owned corporation in 1953, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation (日本電信電話公社, Nippon Denshin Denwa Kōsha?), the company was privatized in 1985 to encourage competition in the telecom market. Because NTT owns most of the last mile, it enjoys oligopolistic control over land lines in Japan. The NTT Law regulating NTT East and West requires them to serve only short distance communications and obligates them to maintain telephone service all over the country.
