This is the best news I have read in a LONG time. Can Vodafone be next??? nni.nikkei.co.jp Saturday, June 1, 2002 J-Phone 3G Handsets To Work Worldwide TOKYO (Nikkei)--J-Phone Co. will make its third-generation mobile phones operable even in countries where the 3G service has yet to be launched, company sources said Friday. The mobile phone service operator, planning to start the 3G service in December, will make its 3G models compatible with the current generation of mobile phones expected to continue to prevail in Western and other Asian nations for a few more years. Through a tie-up with Qualcom Inc., the company will equip all of its 3G mobile phones with the U.S. company's system chips, which will make the phones compatible with the current generation of cell phones. A total of 179 countries, including European and Asian nations and part of the U.S., use the GSM format for the current second-generation mobile phones. But since Japan is the only country to use the PDC format, Japanese cannot use their cell phones overseas. For the 3G service, the W-CDMA format will be used basically throughout the world, allowing users of the service to operate their cell phones anywhere on the globe. However, the development of infrastructure for the 3G service has largely been slow outside Japan. J-Phone hopes to tout the overseas-usability of its phones to help it catch up with NTT DoCoMo Inc. (9437) and KDDI Corp. (9433), which have the lead in providing 3G service. (The Nihon Keizai Shimbun Saturday morning edition)
