Japan's 3G Woes Trickle To Handset Makers BY KRISTY BASSUENER MAY 14, 2002 Launch delays and technical glitches plaguing Japan's third-generation service launches have not only hampered new subscribers to the advanced services, but they've also affected handset sales as well. The Japan Electronics and Information Technologies Industries Association reveals a report that March mobile phone shipments in the country shrank nearly 50 percent to 3.12 million phones compared with the same month in 2001. The JEITA says in its report that demand for 3G has not been strong enough to boost replacement handset sales and the overall mobile market. At the end of March, NTT DoCoMo -- Japan's first carrier to offer 3G with its FOMA service -- revealed it added 89,400 users for the 3G service. The carrier's goal had been to reach 150,000 in its first six months of service. However, competitor KDDI reported having 334,000 3G phone sales at the end of April, the first month it began offering the service.
