<<NTT DoCoMo, which has 57 percent of Japan's 44.8 million cellular phone users, is running out of frequencies. That forces it to cut in half bandwidth for individual users when airwaves are overloaded, degrading sound quality>> This actually means that they are pushing a half rate vocoder over there, which has been terible at sound quality, no matter how much PR people like ERICY had been putting out. It has alot of people very upset with them. Couple that with the business men able to get 14.4 data now and just starting 144k data in a few months, then the only target they have had for a long time for PHS is teenagers and housewives. Ask most Japanese business men what PHS is used for and they respond "Teenagers".
