| Abstract;As telecommunication undergoes a big wave of change from telephone networks to IP networks, NTT's R&D must also adapt, rapidly and responsively, so as to provide a sharp focus on business. At the same time, there are research areas that must be pursued steadfastly, unaffected by short-term changes. This article is based on the presentation "NTT R&D Revolution", given by Yuji Inoue, Senior Vice President, Executive Director of Department III, NTT, at the NTT R&D Forum in February 2004.
