The telephone service between the UK and Japan agreed between Kokusai Denshin Denwa Co and Mercury Communications Ltd, which is due to start on May 5, will initially be one-way, carrying only calls initiated in the UK: once transmission quality has been proved, Japan-UK service will be added; the deal is KDD’s third with an independent after those with MCI Communications and US Sprint in 1986.
