Tero: I-mode is the niche standard. So is WAP. TCP/IP is the internet standard. And 100 million dialup users are comfortable with 56 kbps and less. So, forget phone design and I-mode content. All that is temporary. If 50 KBPS is available on the move, everybody is going to go directly to their favorite content on the internet. And if 144 kbps is a real possiblity, then many will sacrifice a home line to use the internet in their backyard or anywhere. Arun >>No, it doesn't. High data speed offers a chance to get out very compelling handsets and content. It doesn't guarantee it. Right now, the best mobile handsets in Japan are PDC models. That's because vendors have been spending billions to develop them and will continue to do so. It's not possible for a niche standard to match the R&D muscle. The results are showing - in phone size, retail prices and the quality of color displays and the number of sites developed for iMode. >>
