Nifty Corporation
Japanese internet service provider
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nifty Corporation, stylized as NIFTY Corporation (ニフティ株式会社) and @nifty (ニフティ), is one of the leading internet service providers (ISP) in Japan.[3] The company was the largest online service provider, Nifty Serve, in Japan. With the spread of the Internet, it started internet service in 1996. In 1999, it absorbed Fujitsu's ISP, InfoWeb. In 2006, the online service was closed due to a decline in users. The company (TYO: 3828) went public in December 2006. It became a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu and was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange on 19 July 2016.[4]
