T's entire thesis regarding their ability to compete is a gamble that what works for NTT in Japan will work in the US as well. In Japan, with a population whose near-exclusive internet experience has been with handsets, and specifically the "slower, more modest" I-Mode technology, I-Mode provides sufficient utility and amusement. How will sophisticated US customers - both adult and adolescent - with extensive Internet experience and expectations - and within a culture where faster and more is always not just better, but desired, respond to a "slower, more modest" service approach? Benjamin - I hope I am not violating thread rules in repeating what you stated above. To me this is a (the?)crucial factor in whether or not T is making a big mistake. It is the kind of mistake a big, fat, bureaucratic, stubborn, "head in the past-type" organization would make. Also, I am certain that the T executives are a lot more comfortable working with similar types from NTT, etc. than with the folks at QCOM. Their loss.
