Following my recent appointment as president and representative director of UQ Communications Inc., I would like to take this opportunity to extend warm greetings to UQ customers and partners.

　I would like to express my deep gratitude to our valued customers for your continued patronage, and I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to all of our partner companies who have strongly supported our business activities.

　UQ started commercial services based on mobile WiMAX technology in July, 2009, with the aim of, "constructing a new social infrastructure to realize a broadband society that provides Internet Access anywhere."

　Our service area has expanded to cover 450 districts across Japan, including all government-designated major cities and prefectural capital cities. We have achieved this by installing 8,120 outdoor base stations as of May, 2010.

　Regarding our "open model," many partner companies support our direction, and mobile virtual network operators providing WiMAX services now number over 40.

　On the device side, many computer makers are now selling WiMAX embedded PCs. In addition, "WiMAX Speed Wi-Fi" mobile routers - which provide anytime, anywhere, high-speed Internet access via WiMAX for Wi-Fi embedded devices - have been released to market. At UQ, we are confident that the value of WiMAX as a key element of the social infrastructure is gaining traction and quickly spreading.

　On behalf of all the employees at UQ Communications, I pledge to continue to do our utmost to provide you with convenient, reliable WiMAX Internet access that's a pleasure to use, anytime, anywhere in your Internet life. We appreciate your continuing patronage and support of our growing business.
