A total of 784,000 people accessed the Internet via their cable TV provider at the end of March, compared to 216,000 a year earlier.
The number of subscribers to the DSL services provided by NTT regional telecom operators at the end of April was 112,182, up from 16,194 at the end of January.
Subscribers to limited wireless Internet services like NTT DoCoMo's I-mode, EZWeb and J-Sky totaled 36.94 million at the end of April, compared to 9.35 million a year earlier.
