HONG KONG -(Dow Jones)- K DDI Corp. (NasdaqNM: DDIC - News) (J.KDD) has signed up 829,000 subscribers on its third-generation mobile network since its launch April 1 and is gaining 10,000 new subscribers day, a top executive said Wednesday.
Speaking at a 3G World Congress in Hong Kong , Hideo Okinaka, general manager of the strategic technology planning department, said the Japanese mobile operator had 829,000 users as of Monday, and is signing up about 10,000 new subscribers a day.
Given the strong demand, he said, the company is targeting "several million" subscribers by the end of this fiscal year, which ends March 31 . Other company officials have earlier said the company hopes to sign up 7 million subscribers in the first 12 months.
I think that equates to approx 50,000 per week ie in three weeks approx 150,000.
Now how does that compare with J-phone at 140,,00 per qtr???
Or put another way KDDI is takes on as many in three weeks as J-phone does in an entire quarter.
QED,
