 Hello everyone, this is Kazuhiko Tanaka, the ITU Association of Japan. We have regional seminar on cost and tariff for Asia and Pacific, and meeting of SG3 RGAO group here in Tokyo. We will report by video. Please enjoy. As you know, our regional group for Asia and Oceania has a big potential to gross economy, and maybe in terms of population, we are more than half of the globe. I wish this seminar will continue until tomorrow morning, and also we will have a meeting from tomorrow afternoon until Wednesday. I wish both of the events will be successful. I would like to thank BDT in particular, Carmen, for its wonderful preparation of the seminar. There are nine sessions, they encompass a variety of subjects, and are very good food for thoughts. You may notice that there is one presentation on the results of wickets held last year in Dubai. There are a couple of very important decisions made by this conference, which would have huge influence on the study of SG3. So as a chairman of SG3, I appreciate this presentation to be given later, as a good input for fruitful discussion in this study period of SG3. These events are organized jointly with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication of Japan. And I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Soshiro Seiki, the Director General for International Affairs of Japan, and all his team for the very great support to these events and for the wonderful arrangement for these meetings. As you all know, the recent changes in the telecommunication infrastructure, particularly the Internet and NGN, have been spectacular. It goes without saying that the tariff and accounting principles must also adapt to such changes. We have seen various developments recently in this regard. Firstly, recommendation related to international mobile roaming charge came into effect for the first time as a result of a study on SG3 during the formal term session. Secondly, as Mr. Tsugawa touched upon, a wicket meeting was held last December in Dubai and they had a discussion on reducing international mobile roaming charge and accounting rate relating to international Internet connections. In light of these developments, the role of ITU SG3 must be considered as becoming ever more important towards the future.
