The exhibition will be divided into seven separate sections, which will be tied together under the keyword "partnership." The sections will feature technologies such as infrastructure technology, next-generation mobile telecommunications, electronic commerce, network tools and the group's Arcstar-brand services. Highlights include:

• Global Megamedia Network*2, which is being established by NTT R&D facilities as a new media infrastructure.
• Terminals and applications for W-DCMA*3, the new third-generation mobile wideband technology adopted as the standard for next-generation mobile communications system (IMT-2000).
• Super Cash electronic commerce system, which NTT Communications is now testing with a pilot project in Tokyo.
• Arcstar services, which provide total solutions for corporate customers engaged in international business.

The NTT group will also present a wide variety of other equipment, systems and applications for global telecommunications during the show (see Attachment 1).
