Abstract: | Information flow for point to point communications is carried by means of mail, telegram, telex. facsimile, telephone and data communications. The amount of information carried by these media was analyzed for Japanese and U.S. domestic communications, as well as for U.S.-Japan transpacific communications. The total domestic and international information flows are found to be closely related with the gross domestic product (GDP) and the gross international trade, respectively. The effects of technological innovation, service inauguration and regulatory events on the change of information flow are also found. |
