Items this document does not state (16)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.By aggregating demand for network connections across companies in the フリービットグループ and jointly procuring capacity, the service can support speeds of up to 10 Gbps from upstream connections and in-building wiring through to the LAN ports in each private unit, enabling it to be offered at a low price. The company also expects the service to reduce residents’ communications costs, enhance property value, support higher rent valuations and contribute to lower vacancy rates.
