Japan’s information and communications market continued to evolve through expanding access to broadband, mainly via fiber-optic connections and services. A key result was the further proliferation of search engine-driven portal services, online video services and consumer-generated media, such as social-networking services and blogs. In addition, society became less layered, or "flatter," in terms of the speed of accessing and distributing information.
The ways in which companies and consumers interact became more varied, and ongoing progress in information and communication technology resulted in dramatic changes in lifestyles and corporate business models.
At the same time, the global information and communications industry continued to evolve in terms of its competitive environment. Mergers and acquisitions mainly among Internet-related companies, for example, led to further consolidation in the United States and Europe.
