DATA ON MYLINE CARRIER SELECTION SERVICE REGISTRATIONS
as of the End of July

MYLINE Carriers Association

The attachment contains data on the number of lines for which MYLINE registration has been completed as of the end of July.

End-of-month figures on the status of MYLINE registrations are published on the MYLINE Carriers Association Home Page (http://www.tca.or.jp/myline), with the data appearing around the middle of the next month.

Figures in the Attached Tables

1. The figures cover only those applications received at the MYLINE Center for which registration processing has been completed. The figures do not cover applications received but still in the process of being registered.
   
   
2. As the result of deliberations by the MYLINE Carriers Association, the figures are treated in the following manner:
   
   

   a.

   The numbers have been summarized into registration figures for two groups, one group consisting of NTT East and NTT West's local call and in-prefecture long-distance call (long-distance calls within the same prefecture) categories along with NTT Communications' out-of-prefecture long distance call and international call categories, and the other group consisting of the other (non-NTT) telephone companies.

   b.

   In addition, the registration figures for NTT Communications' local call and in-prefecture long-distance call categories include other telephone companies that are new entrants in the categories.

   
   
3. The number of lines registered is not exactly the same as the number of applications received because some customers may make multiple applications and some applications are on separate forms depending on the calling category.
