International Telegraph and Telephone Corporation - Kokusai Denshin Denwa
KDD was established in 1953 under the International Telegraph and Telephone Corporation Act (1952). It was established as a private company from the beginning in order to proactively introduce new technologies and operate flexibly. In 1963, KDD succeeded in relaying television between Japan and the United States via satellite, and in 1964, it began operating the first large-capacity coaxial undersea cable between the two countries, thus improving Japan's communications technology. As one of Japan's leading telecommunications carriers, KDD has also participated in the activities of international organizations such as the International Telecommunication Union.
