(NTT), the world’s biggest telecoms group by revenue, posted a solid operating profit for the first nine months of its business year, despite intense competition.

NTT, which has majority stakes in Japan’s top mobile operator NTT DoCoMo Inc. and in systems integrator NTT Data Corp., said April-December operating profit was 1.13 trillion yen ($10.82 billion). Full story Here.
