anyone know Japanese some of my best friends are Japanese, LOL. checking yer link, inre: pricing for IDO's PacketOne64 service, the following link ido.co.jp shows the pricing table and presents a synopsis of the network setup. It appears from the table that the 64Kbps is for the forward link only; reverse link is 14.4K. Standard packet service, limited to 14.4 in both directions, has no monthly base charge. PacketOne64, the add-on service, has no base charge thru Feb 2000, and starting in March, the base charge is 600 yen a month (about $5.80 or so, depending on the exchange rate; for simplicity's sake, you could think of 1 yen as about 1 cent). In addition to the base fees, there are data fees of 0.1 yen per 128 bytes. There is also something called EZ Access, which appears to be a separate 14.4-only service that has separate data charges. They also have a discount package--PacketOne Value L--which has a base rate of 2400 yen a month (about $22), but has a 70% discount on data charges; the discount package is aimed at volume users who anticipate spending 3500 yen a month or more. If you want any more specific info, let me know. MM

I sure would...TIA Well I was just kidding but anything I came up with would be about as accurate as the sets of numbers that Strategis and Dataquest put out....and I would charge a lot less ;-). Just one example of the disagreement between the numbers....Dataquest's second quarter report estimated that the analog market share was 22.7%. If I remember correctly the first quarter was somewhere around 24%....in order to reconcile the new Strategis report I would have to believe that analog GAINED 7% points in the last two quarters. I dont think so.... There are other inconsistencies also....I dont know which report is right but I do know that there are people who are shelling out thousands of dollars and getting completely erroneous information.

And the saga continues... globalwirelessnews.com Gov?t loses in attempt to remove NextWave case from bankruptcy WASHINGTON?The federal government today unsuccessfully attempted to block an effort by bankrupt personal communications services licensee NextWave Telecom Inc. to have the bankruptcy court rule on whether the Federal Communications Commission can cancel its 90 PCS licenses and re-auction them in July. Bankruptcy Judge Adlai S. Hardin Jr. has ordered the federal government to appear in his courtroom Friday to explain why it thinks it can take back and re-auction the C- and F-block licenses. The government asked Federal Judge Charles Brieant to take the case out of bankruptcy, but Judge Brieant refused. In addition, NextWave said in court papers filed late last week that it will soon file a petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, asking the court to rehear its case. In December, the Second Circuit said that bankruptcy law could not be used in the licensing and regulating of spectrum governed by communications law. Based on this decision, the FCC announced it was canceling the licenses and would re-auction them on July 26. ??The FCC?s efforts to block the commercialization of NextWave?s licenses and its election to pursue unlawful actions designed to punish NextWave for exercising statutorily granted rights are at odds with federal law and with the [FCC?s] own statements regarding the need for prompt utilization of NextWave?s PCS spectrum,?? said NextWave.
