    • While model III is the regulatory model prevailing in Japan today, the matter is under review. The general expectation is that starting in 1995 an element of cross-subsidy will be introduced into the payments made to the incumbent PTO (NTT) by the new carriers such as DDI, thus implementing a ‘model IV’ regulatory regime. (In addition, Japan's Ministry of Post and Telecommunications makes grants to PTOs for certain universal service related activities. While this is important, we do not consider it to be part of the ‘regulatory model’.)
