The number of DSL subscribers in Japan increased from 1.52 million to 5.64 million during 2002, according to the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Post and Telecommunications.
The increase reflected the low charges and expanded services available in the country and there were 500,000 new subscribers in December alone. In a study carried out last year, Point Topic ranked Japan in third place, behind South Korea and the US, in terms of number of digital subscriber lines (see Global DSL Lines Top 30 Million).
