TOKYO, Japan - NTT-ME Corp., a Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. arm, said June 28 it will offer a new type of Internet-based phone service for subscribers of the NTT group's asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) service without charging them for the length of phone calls, starting in September.
