NTT to have 2 million FTTH subscribers by March 2005

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) is spending $1.8 billion to add at least 1.3 million new Fiber-to-the-Home subscribers over the next 12 months, bringing NTT's total FTTH subscriber basis to over 2 million. Previously, NTT, the incumbent telco, has not been one of the more aggressive FTTH players in the past.
