Operating Segments

The Group’s operating segments have been identified to be each business unit, by which the Group provides independent services and merchandise. The Group’s reportable segments are cellular services, which include cellular voice service, wireless data service and wireless internet services; fixed-line telecommunication services, which include telephone services, internet services, and leased line services; e-commerce services, which from 2018 include only the Eleven Street Co., Ltd., the open marketplace platform; and all other businesses, which include the Group’s internet portal services and other immaterial operations, each of which does not meet the quantitative threshold to be considered as a reportable segment and are presented collectively as others.
