"I am still a little rough on my understanding of the i-mode thing."
----------

I-Mode is NTT's proprietary method of providing content and communications over a cell phone. Its technology is "browser based" (for lack of a better term) versus WAP (wireless application protocol) based. It fits well into CSCO's work with NTT on developing a pure IP interface for mobile wireless.

((( See CSCO at cisco.com )))

"Browser-based" cellphone communications, like I-Mode - will work with CDMA and wCDMA and GSM standards, just as WAP will. WAP, however, may have no reason to exist as the IP mobile interface is realized.

From the IJ Bloomburg interview -

"Finally looking forward, from my own perspective, data and most voice traffic will go out over the Internet and those are common network protocols and so the differences will become easier to deal with and roaming world-wide will become more generally available because multi-band, multi-mode, multi-network issues are being dealt with."
