As Japan's second-largest mobile operator, KDDI's mobile communication service had a nationwide outage on July 2. According to an investigation report released by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the communication failure on July 2 lasted for 61 hours and 25 minutes, affecting more than 30.91 million people, surpassing the SoftBank communication failure incident in 2018 and becoming the largest failure in Japanese history.
