The government is pushing for the privatization of the NTT Group to create a huge company that can compete against GAFAM and aims to secure additional defense budget allocations. However, this may not be effective in countering GAFAM, and instead could lead to further consolidation trends within Japan, resulting in high communications fees that even NTT Docomo, KDDI, and Rakuten will have to pay. It is necessary to consider alternative measures to compete against GAFAM.
