A slightly different estimate of the W-CDMA launch....from the president of J-Phone. This is an article from July.

J-Phone aims to provide the IMT-2000 service on a full scale from the start. According to Higuchi, the company aims to win 600,000 subscribers in the Kanto area alone in the initial year.

NTT DoCoMo has set a modest target of winning 100,000 subscribers in the Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka areas in the first year, in sharp contrast with the J-Phone group.


The real question is if the launch in May will actually be commercial. If (big if) NTT actually has handsets in the shops in May, it is difficult to see them only getting 100,000 customers in a year.
