As of the end of June 2002, there were 5.24 million @nifty subscribers.
Subscriber numbers have increased consistently over the years, and with
the integration of NIFTY SERVE and Info Web services in November 1999 (
for a total of 3.5 million subscribers as of November 1 1999 ) and the introduction of new service fee systems in September 2000, such as the Unlimited Plan
providing unlimited access for 2000 yen / month and the Tel-Komi Plan including
telephone dialing charges, the number of new subscribers has dramatically
jumped.
Around 20% of all @nifty members are subscribers with corporate contracts. |
