The business integration in the broadcasting, telecommunications and other media markets and the diversification of consumption patterns continue to accelerate. The Sumitomo Corporation Media/ Lifestyle Business Unit was established in April 2007 in response to these market conditions for the purpose of creating new values for different consumer lifestyles in media, network, lifestyle/ retail business segments. In the Media segment, the Unit has developed business in terms of both infrastructure and content focusing on the cable television (CATV), multi-channel programming distribution, and movie-related businesses. With respect to the Network segment, the Unit has built businesses around IT solutions, mobile communications and the Internet. In the Lifestyle/ Retail field, the Unit continues to develop primarily in the TV shopping channel, supermarket, drugstore, fashion and brand businesses.
