Eric L: Please note the repeat of Japan part of my "Smart Cards" post here earlier.

Re Japan and DoCoMo, this quote from the article this is in reply to (#5902) is fascinating:

"Even in Japan, 3G is being deployed in increments. NTT, the carrier in charge of 3G in Japan, will offer these services by 2001, but it will only offer 64-Kbit/s wireless-data services, not the 2-Mbit/s that was previously promised, analysts said."

So NTT is "in charge of 3G in Japan" ?

The CDMA roll out which has the 64 k which is envisioned by NTT in 2001 has been commercially available since Jan 7 of this year on the CDMA One network in Japan in competition with NTT DoCoMo..

Don't think NTT is "in charge" of that.

Again there still seem to be the GSM camp and the CDMA camp and never the twain shall meet.

But while both issue press releases, the GSM group seems to have the bigger megaphone in the press
.
(The GSM camp seems to have the ear of the Wall Street Journal in particular as Ericsson always did - now its an NTT DoCoMo mouthpiece).

Ah how past is prelude.

And he who has the greates influence with the press and spreads FUD is powerful, no?

Best as always.
