Business Highlights

Sumitomo’s diversified media businesses encompass the breadth of the Internet, cable and telecommunications industry. From the infrastructure, to the underlying systems, to the content and commerce that runs along them, SCOA is engaged and evolving with the technology.

In recent years, there has been a move to digitalization and broadband, and SC and the companies they have made investments in have made this possible. As technology and consumer acceptance evolves, our Media and IT Venture group looks for ways to strengthen and enhance our current and future holdings.

These holdings include Jupiter Telecommunications, the largest broadband cable TV system in Japan. Sumitomo is involved in everything from the underlying technology to the production and licensing of content.

In addition, Sumitomo has invested in the networks (Cross Beam Networks Corp) and the set-top boxes (Terayon Communications System) that bring the broadband and programming offerings of Jupiter into Japanese homes.
