NTT Com Acquires Stake in goFLUENT Group

TOKYO, January 7 - NTT Communications (NTT Com) announced on January 7 plans to launch
online educational services in Japan following its acquisition of a 29.7
percent stake in goFLUENT Group S.A. (goFLUENT), a provider of online
English-language instruction. The two will partner in developing the business
plan and services to be introduced in the Japanese market.

Established in 2000, goFLUENT has developed advanced expertise for the
provision of online English instruction. It currently has about 30,000
students, mainly enterprise customers in nine countries worldwide, who
receive remote English-language instruction from about 300 tutors based in
the United States, Canada and the Philippines. The company estimates it had
revenues of about 11 million euros (about 1.5 billion yen) in 2009.

Through the capital alliance, NTT Com intends to launch educational
services in Japan that will combine the company's visual communication and
other ICT solutions with goFLUENT's online English-training know-how.
Specific services will include the online provision of English training for
enterprise personnel as well as individual customers of Internet services
offered by the NTT Com Group, such as OCN-brand service. Customers also will
be developed in collaboration with NTT Com's parent company, Nippon Telegraph
and Telephone Corporation, and its Group activity of online English training
service.

NTT Com expects the services to benefit from a growing demand for English
training in Japan at a time when companies are globalizing their operations
and English education has become a compulsory subject beginning from
elementary school. The increasing ubiquity of broadband networks and the
spread of teleconference services are expected to accelerate the spread of
online English education.

For goFLUENT, the capital alliance will create growth opportunities in
Asian markets through collaboration with NTT Com, which has a strong market
presence and significant resources, especially in Japan. The goFLUENT
organization currently has bases in nine countries worldwide: Canada, France,
Germany, Italy, the Philippines, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and USA.
