The potential of the Internet in Japan was recognized after 1996, when major companies such as Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) and Fujitsu offered ISP services. In the early 2000s, providers introduced high-speed broadband. The world’s first large-scale mobile Internet service, iMode, was pioneered in 1999 by the nation’s largest mobile carrier, NTT DoCoMo.〔 ==Status== * Internet users: 100.7 million users, 4th in the world; 79.1% of the population, 33rd in the world (2012).〔("Percentage of Individuals using the Internet 2000-2012" ), International Telecommunications Union (Geneva), June 2013, retrieved 22 June 2013〕 * Household penetration: 86% (2011).〔("Japan" ), ''Freedom on the Net 2013'', Freedom House.
