Japan's DDI to use cdma2000 format for cellphones

TOKYO, May 12 (Reuters) - Japanese long-distance telephone carrier DDI Corp said on
Friday it will use the cdma2000 format for its third-generation cellphones.

The U.S. format promoted by Qualcomm Inc (NasdaqNM:QCOM - news) would enable DDI to cut costs by
taking
advantage of existing infrastructure used by its current cdmaOne mobile phones, also developed by Qualcomm,
analysts said.

DDI's main cellphone competitors, NTT Docomo and Japan Telecom's J-Phone plan to use the W-CDMA
(Wideband Code
Division Multiple Access) technology promoted by Docomo and supported by European carriers.

DDI is set to merge in October with KDD Corp , Japan's largest international telecoms carrier, and unlisted
cellphone service
provider IDO Corp.

The announcement came after the Tokyo market had closed. DDI shares ended up 6.93 percent at 1.08 million
yen.
