Here's an excerpt from the Nov. Mobile Computing & Communications mag:

Bigger than Pokemon

No bigger than a pocket monster, the cell phone has become all the rage in Japan. So popular, in fact, that
NTT DoCoMo and Japan's two CDMA carriers DDI Celluclar and Noppon IDO Tsushin are locked in a
fierce race to sign up customers.

On the CDMA front, subscriptions passed the 2 million mark in August, a mere four months since service
was launched. International roaming service and a 64Kbps data service are expected by year's end, which is
expected to fuel CDMA subscription growth even more.

But NTT DoCoMo has not been standing still. The company has signed up its millionth customer to its
i-Mode service, which allows e-mail and text-based information services to be supplied over the existing
PDC network. This maintains DoCoMo's lead in the Japanese cell-phone market until the company's
planned launch of its own WCDMA service in March, 2001.
