On January 19, 2006 the IT Strategic Headquarters established the New IT Reform Strategy; compiling the priority plans for it. Policies will be implemented based on this priority action plan.

IT can go beyond time and distance and can overcome geographical and time restrictions. It can be a great lever to reform socioeconomic structures. This structure reform power is intended to be used in order to promote the administrative reforms in Japan; as well as an active society, with the participation of the elders and children.

The IT basic frame was set in 2001 so that by the year 2005 Japan would become the world's most advanced IT country. In the e-Japan Strategy the focus was put on the infrastructure development of broadband and, through 5 years' effort for the broadband infrastructure, Japan now has the fastest and cheapest broadband access, leading the world in that sense. Among other measures, the New IT Reform Strategy projects the leverage and use of IT capabilities by July 2007.
