But that's exactly what KEIJI TACHIKAWA is doing. He took over as president and chief executive of NTT DoCoMo, the wireless unit of Japan's former phone monopoly, in June, 1998. Since then, Tachikawa has introduced a new wireless Net access service that promises to catapult Japan to the front ranks of the mobile Internet. Tachikawa has forged a reputation as a nimble, open-minded manager who isn't afraid to hire experienced outsiders. He joined Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp. in 1962, straight out of the University of Tokyo's engineering program. Tachikawa says it was in New York during the late '80s, where he set up NTT America, that he adopted a more entrepreneurial style: ``I learned that it's very easy to form a company in America. All you need is a manager, a secretary, and $200, and you're in business.' By the time he arrived at DoCoMo, it was clear the carrier needed an Internet access service. The result was i-mode, an easy-to-use mobile Net service that has taken Japan by storm since its February launch. Users purchase an i-mode handset and pay DoCoMo $3 a month for e-mail service and to display Web text. With 3 million i-mode users already, DoCoMo can expect to ring up even more profits. Since Tachikawa took it public in late '98, the stock has soared. Now he's pushing to deploy technology for even higher-capacity wireless. This is one ex-bureaucrat who isn't sitting around waiting for the phone to ring.
