I think this is just a status update for IOWN inter-ISP network construction project from NTT, the privatized Japanese national telco. IIUC they follow their organizational inertia to use expressions like "developing IOWN technology" as if they're designing a new CPU, but in fact they're just upgrading exchanges and signing new agreements. They're probably not wrong, as it's often said that network is the computer, but it's certainly a bit quirky behavior.
