If it is possible to collaborate between clouds…
→Through cooperation between operators when
information processing is congested, only
minimal investment by each operator is required.

Market Scale of Cloud Services in Japan
The cloud service market was worth 700 billion yen(8.6 billion U.S. dollars*) in 2011. It will grow around
four times in size to reach approximately 2.8 trillion yen (34.6 billion U.S. dollars*) by 2016. Note: The market is expected to expand by approximately 560 billion yen (6.9 billion U.S. dollars*) through the
support measures for diffusion of cloud services in such areas as government, medical care, and education. *converted at the rate of 81yen/U.S. dollar (as of April 2012)
