No, Valueman - I didn't call it a break-through. I said that a real mobile data break-through requires a large customer base, good applications and big backing from content providers. It's easy to see why NTT-DoCoMo succeeded - they have a lock on a hefty chunk of the entire Japanese population, they got the product to the market first and they persuaded content providers to back HTML-based solutions. If GPRS can offer a similar product under similar conditions, it has a good chance of replicating that success in its core markets; though here it's probably non-HTML WAP that will most likely succeed. What's unclear is what will happen to mobile data solutions that are offered to a small subscriber base, don't have wide content provider support and represent a minority standard. Tero
