# Laying the Groundwork for Advanced Information and Communications

## Measures concerning the elderly and disabled

In order to eliminate the digital divide as it concerns the elderly and disabled, the MPHPT is engaging in a variety of undertakings designed to create communications and broadcast systems that respond to the range of obstacles confronting the elderly and disabled. The TAO is also cooperating with local public bodies to conduct R&D intended to create information and communications systems that have advanced functions necessary in social welfare fields. In addition, the ministry is implementing programming production support measures in order to provide the closed captioning, explanatory broadcasts, and sign language broadcasts essential for the visually and hearing impaired to understand televisions broadcasts.

## Telework and SOHO

Telework and small offices/home office (SOHO) work are forms of remote work that utilize information and communications technology. These work models offer a variety of benefits including alleviation of commuting burdens, promoting greater compatibility between work and childcare and nursing care for elderly, creating more opportunities for women, the elderly, and the disabled to work, and stimulating local economies. In order to promote the widespread adoption of telework and SOHO work, the MPHPT is promoting a number of initiatives including: (1) development of local facilities; (2) R&D on and construction of information and communications systems; and (3) tax benefits and financial support.

## I mproving telecommunications usage environment

The MPHPT created the Telecommunications Consumer Consultation Center to receive complaints from and provide consultations for users concerning telecommunications services, and in 1994 set up a Telecommunications Service Monitoring Institution to obtain a broad spectrum of users' opinions concerning telecommunications services so that they can be reflected in future telecommunications policy. Activities such as e-commerce on the Internet have grown rapidly in recent years, and the Law Concerning Electronic Signatures and the Certification Business was enacted in April 2001 to ensure that users can confirm the other party's identify and to clarify the legal effect of electronic signatures and certifications, which ensure that the content of data has not been modified en route.
## I mproving radio wave usage environment

The MPHPT is working hard to maintain the sound utilization of the electromagnetic spectrum. With respect to the problem of unwanted radio waves, the ministry is adopting or revising the standards regarding technical conditions on radio wave interference in compliance with International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR). Also, in response to concerns that the radio waves generated by radio facilities have a detrimental effect on human health, the ministry adopted radio wave protection standards for wireless devices such as cell phones and applies them as guidelines for the manufacturing of wireless devices. Furthermore, since interference from the improper use of radio waves is occurring frequently, development of a radio wave monitoring system (DEURAS; Detect Unlicensed Radio Stations) has been underway since 1993, radio wave monitoring activities have been reinforced, and enforcement against illegal radio stations has been conducted together with investigatory agencies.

## Ensuring the sound development of broadcasting

In order to develop a solid relationship between youth and broadcasting, the MPHPT engages in activities intended to raise consideration of youth by broadcasters and to increase the media literacy of youth and their guardians. Also, when a violation of rights occurs as a result of a false broadcast, the harm can be considerable, so a revised broadcast system was created by the Broadcast Law (a person whose rights were infringed including defamation by a false broadcast can demand a revision of rescission within three months of the broadcast), and the ministry has worked to promote acceptance of the system among the people.
# Advances in Digitization of Public Areas

## Laying the groundwork for electronic certification

With respect to construction of the certification system necessary for processing applications and notices online, three ministries including the MPHPT established a Certificate Authority for the various ministries and agencies, and the ministry also constructed a bridge certificate authority in March 2001. For the early realization of electronic government, the ministry will promote systems that utilize the ministry's Certification Office for applications and notice online. Also, many local public bodies are developing organizational certification infrastructure that is compatible with the Government Public Key Infrastructure (GPKI) and are conducting systematic investigations into construction of public certification infrastructure for individuals.

## 2 Development of public systems

The Telecommunications Advancement Organizations of Japan (TAO) is conducting R&D on telecommunications systems (designated Joint Operation Initiative with Network Technology) for public procedures on consignment under the general expenditures of five ministries and agencies including the MPHPT. Also, the MPHPT is constructing a Residents Basic Registers Network System as a structure to process matters concerning residents basic registers that go beyond the regions of city or village and to provide personal identification information to national agencies based on the recently-added resident code. In addition, the government is also promoting construction of a geographic information system (GIS) in a liaison conference with other involved ministries and agencies.

## 3 Local development through IT

The MPHPT is promoting the Digital Museum Concept, which will allow anyone to access by network digital information on cultural assets accumulated in local cultural facilities. The concept is designed for supporting the preservation and public dissemination of local tangible and intangible cultural assets and historical legacies, the preservation and continuation of which can often be difficult for local public bodies. Also, as one aspect of the policies for the development of Okinawa, the ministry proposed the Okinawa Multimedia Special District Concept in 1996 and is implementing a variety of measures to make Okinawa an information and communications hub for the Asia Pacific region.
## Measures for Globalization

## 1 International policies

International awareness concerning elimination of the digital divide and utilization of digital opportunities has heightened rapidly in recent years, and in July 2000 the IT Charter was adopted at the Kyushu-Okinawa Summit whereby the heads of G8 agreed to undertake various actions to eliminate the digital divide based on a common understanding. At the APEC Telecommunications and Information Industry Ministers Conference held in Mexico in May 2000, the Cancun Declaration concerning the promotion of e-commerce was adopted. In addition, a final decision was made concerning the privatization of INTELSAT in July 2001.

## 2 International cooperation

In cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the Japanese Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), the MPHPT contributes to the continuous development of information and communications fields in developing countries through official development assistance (ODA). In light of the IT Charter adopted at the Kyushu-Okinawa Summit, the ministry plans to take aggressive action towards eliminating the international digital divide.

## Promoting international standardization

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) plays a central role in international standardization in the telecommunications field. Within the ITU, the Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T) and the Radio Communications Sector (ITU-R) engage in standardization activities.

## Responding to the international distribution of telecommunications devices

Against the background of globalization including the international distribution of telecommunications devices, there have been international calls for Japan to relax its certification standards for telecommunications devices, and the MPHPT has promoted mutual approval. The ministry also promotes the overseas utilization of telecommunications technology, an area in which Japan is competitive, and contributes to the enjoyment of the IT revolution by persons throughout the world including the diversification of devices that can be used including devices manufactured overseas.
# Use of the Post Office Network and Service Upgrades

## One-stop administrative services at post offices

The MPHPT is working to make post offices—the closest point of contact with the national government for most people—into one-stop administrative service offices. As one aspect of these developments, trials began in 1997 of a service that allows users to request a variety of administrative services provided by local public bodies using information and communications technology and terminals installed in post offices, and tests of administrative services provided by nearby cities and town were conducted. In 1999, TV phone functionality was added to the terminals to allow testing of consultation services. Also, in 2000, prefectural government were added to the local governments to enable regional services to be provided at post offices.

## Postal savings network services

In order to increase convenience to postal savings users, the MPHPT has implemented a number of measures that enable various services to be utilized without going to the post office including: (1) linked ATM services and reciprocal funds transfer services; (2) debit card services; and (3) trials of postal savings IC cards.

## 3 Support for the elderly

To support the use of information technologies such as PCs and the Internet, the ministry's Postal Services Agency began holding free PC lessons for the elderly in cooperation with local public bodies in 1998 as one part of its local post office services.

## I mprovement of postal operations through a new network

In order to improve operations and reduce costs, the ministry's Postal Services Agency is adopting the information, communications, and distribution technologies to construct a logistics system and construct a new general postal information and communications system.
