Communications technology was the centre-point of discussion when the chairman of Japan’s giant Nippon Electric Company, Dr Koji Kobayashi, called on the Minister of Broadcasting, Science and Technology, Dr lan Shearer, in Wellington. In recent years Dr Kobayashi’s company has made large sales of electronic and telecommunications equipment to Government agen-, cies and private companies in New Zealand, including sophisticated new telephone switching gear to the Post Office and television and broadcasting trasmitters to the B.C.N.Z.
NEC recently pioneered the introduction of fibre optics communication in New Zealand with the Post Office and the Electricity Division of the Ministry of Energy. The Japanese company is now planning, a joint venture with the Post Office and the Wellington-based merchants, W. M. Scollay, Ltd, to produce software for both the New Zealand telephone system and for export.
