### 2. Challenges for safe, secure Internet usage

## (1) Matters of concern with Internet usage and problems with ICT networks

● Households are concerned about personal information and enterprises are concerned about personnel shortages

Among households where at least one person has used the Internet, 81.4 percent cited “personal information will be disclosed or exposed externally without permission” as a concern felt when using the Internet. This was followed, in order, by “computer virus infections” (76.7 percent) and “trustworthiness of electronic payments” (47.4 percent) (Figure 5-3-2-1).

Among enterprises, 44.7 percent, the highest response rate, mentioned “operational and management personnel shortages” as a problem when using the Internet, internal LANs, or other networks. This was followed, in order, by “concern about virus infections” (38.7 percent) and “operational and management cost increases” (37.2 percent) (Figure 5-3-2-2).

## (2) Information security measures

Violations (number of arrests) of the Act on Prohibition of Unauthorized Computer Access have risen sharply, and almost 80 percent of households and more than 90 percent of enterprises have implemented some form of information security measures

The number of arrests for violations of the Act on the Prohibition of Unauthorized Computer Access (Unauthorized Computer Access Act) in 2013 rose sharply from 437 in the previous year to 980.

Looking at the state of information security measures taken by households finds that 77.6 percent of households have taken some form of information security measures. The leading security measures were “install

that 98.5 percent of enterprises have implemented some form of information security measures. The leading security measure was “install anti-virus programs on computers and other devices (operating systems, software, etc.),” which is done by 87.2 percent of enterprises. This was followed, in order, by “install anti-virus programs on servers” (66.0 percent) and “control access with IDs and passwords” (55.3 percent) (Figure 5-3-2-4).

## (3) Personal information protection measures

## ● Almost 80 percent of enterprises have implemented personal information protection measures

The percentage of enterprises that have implemented some form of personal information protection measures was 77.2 percent, down 0.3 percentage points from the end of 2012. The most cited protection measure, given by 49.2 percent of enterprises, was “enhance internal training,” followed, in order, by “appoint a personal information protection and management officer” (31.9 percent) and “establish a privacy policy” (23.6 percent) (Figure 5-3-2-5).

### 3. Promoting ICT applications in government services

## (1) Promoting e-government

## The number of online procedures handled by national administrative bodies fell from the previous fiscal year, but the online usage rate increased

There were 7,188 applications, notifications, and other national administrative procedures available online, a decrease of 328 from the previous fiscal year (when there were 7,516 online procedures) (Figure 5-3-1). The decrease was due to ministries and agencies further reviewing and revising the scope of procedures made available online based on cost effectiveness and other factors, in line with the New Online Usage Plan, approved by the IT Strategic Headquarters on August 3, 2011.

The usage rate of applications, notifications, and other national administrative procedures filed online versus all applications, notifications, and procedures $ ^{6} $ filed was 41.2 percent (188,960,305 procedures were filed online, an increase of 2.7 percentage points from the previous fiscal year).

a. Subscriptions to telecommunication services

● Subscriptions to fixed-line communications are trending downward while subscriptions to mobile communications and 0ABJ-IP phone services have increased steadily

Subscriptions to fixed-line communication services (including NTT East and West services (including ISDN), non-NTT services, $ ^{9} $ and CATV-based telephone services) have been declining, while those to mobile communication services (mobile phone and PHS services) and 0ABJ-IP phone services have been growing steadily. Subscriptions to 050-IP phone services, which had been on the decline, increased in FY 2012.

At the end of FY 2013, there were about 5.0 times more
mobile communication subscriptions than fixed-line communication subscriptions (Figure 5-5-2-1).

### b. State of broadband development and usage

● Ultra-high-speed broadband services $ ^{10} $ were available at 99.4 percent of Japanese households at the end of March 2013

At the end of March 2013, ultra-high-speed broadband services were available at 53.81 million households, or 99.4 percent of all Japanese households. Broadband services $ ^{11} $ were available at 100 percent of Japan’s 54.16 million households (Figure 5-5-2-2).

● Broadband service subscriptions have risen year by year, with a large jump in subscriptions to 3.9G (LTE) mobile phone services in FY 2013

The number of subscriptions $ ^{12} $ to broadband services at the end of FY 2013 increased by 47.1 percent from a year earlier to 89.73 million (Figure 5-5-2-3). The number of DSL service subscriptions fell by 17.5 percent from the previous year to 4.47 million, continuing a downward trend. FTTH subscriptions, on the other hand, climbed 6.3 percent to 25.35 million, and 3.9G (LTE) mobile phone service subscriptions shot up by almost 2.3 times to 46.41 million. FTTH subscriptions account for 28.3 percent of all broadband subscriptions, whereas 3.9G (LTE) mobile phone service subscriptions now make up more than half, 51.7 percent. DSL continues to experience a net reduction in subscriptions, while FTTH has consistently seen a net increase in subscriptions. The number of subscriptions to BWA services has also increased in recent years.

### 1. ICT industry research

## (1) Research and development spending

#### ● The ICT industry spent 3.8835 trillion yen on research in FY 2012, accounting for 31.9 percent of all corporate research spending

According to MIC's 2013 Research Investigation Report on Science and Technology, Japan's total scientific and technological research spending (i.e., research spending) in FY 2012 stood at 17.3246 trillion yen (the combined research spending by corporations, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, universities, etc.).

Corporate research spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of all research spending, was 12.1705 trillion yen. Of this amount, 3.8835 trillion yen (31.9 percent) was spent on research by the ICT industry. $ ^{19} $ The ICT equipment and appliance manufacturing segment was largest research spender in the ICT industry (Figure 5-9-1-1).

Looking at research spending in the four priority promotion fields (ICT, life sciences, environmental sciences, and nanotechnology/materials) in the Third Science and Technology Basic Plan (approved by the Cabinet in March 2006), the ICT field, with spending of 2.4502 trillion yen, is the second biggest spender after the life sciences field.

## (2) Industry and university R&D partnerships in the ICT field ● Joint research projects increased in number in FY 2012 over the previous year

Private corporations conducted 1,825 joint research projects $ ^{20} $ in the ICT field with national/private universities or other academic institutions in FY 2012, an increase of 89 projects from FY 2011's 1,736 projects. There were 1,453 commissioned research projects $ ^{21} $ in FY 2012, a decrease of 10 projects from FY 2011's 1,463 projects (Figure 5-9-1-2).

In FY 2012, the ICT field had the fewest combined joint research projects and commissioned research projects of the four priority promotion fields (Figure 5-9-1-3).
