A bit, from what my NTT employee brother told me last week:

It's supposedly SDSL rather than ADSL, and the advantage over Tokyo Metallic's
offering is that it works over ISDN lines. This might be a big win for those
of us who entered a deal to pay about Y700 monthly to get ISDN rather than
something like Y70,000 up front for an analog line. I don't know anything
about IP policy, promised bandwidth, service areas, etc.
