Tero, Isn't it true that DDI is a fragmented network with extremely limited coverage right now, until the mergers take place between the 5 disparate carriers? They certainly don't have the nationwide coverage that DoCoMo has. If that's the case, which I'm pretty sure is, it would be a poor meter. EZWeb appears to be doing fine relative to size and coverage, don't you agree?
