TOKYO, June 30 (Kyodo) -- The Posts and Telecommunications Ministry on Friday authorized three mobile phone operators to offer the next-generation "IMT-2000" format service, which features high-speed image and video transmission.
Mobile phones using the IMT-2000 format have the sound quality of conventional land-based phone lines.

The three operators are NTT DoCoMo Inc., the nine-company J-Phone group and an alliance between DDI Corp. and IDO Corp.

NTT DoCoMo and the J-Phone group will adopt the "W-CDMA" technology platform that is widely used in Europe. The two plan to initially offer the new service in Tokyo, Osaka and some other areas in 2001.

The DDI-IDO group will start the new service in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka in fall 2002, using "cdma2000" technology developed by Qualcomm Inc. of the United States.
