Very good news for QCOM investors! DDI Confirms Choice of Qualcomm Standard for New Phone Service By Junko Fujita Tokyo, May 11 (Bloomberg) -- DDI Corp., Japan's No. 2 mobile phone operator, said it will use a cellular phone standard developed by U.S.-based Qualcomm Inc. for a new generation of services, breaking with Japanese rivals who have already committed to a competing technology. DDI will choose Qualcomm's cdma2000 standard as the technology with which to develop a set of services which promise to deliver better and faster mobile Internet connections, including the ability to watch video and download music, said a senior executive at DDI who did not want to be named. The company said it will officially announce its strategy on the high-speed cellular phone services tomorrow. DDI is expected to join rivals NTT DoCoMo Inc., Japan's dominant mobile phone company and Japan Telecom Co., the nation's No. 3 mobile phone operator in seeking a license to operate the services in Japan. The licenses will be issued as early as June. NTT DoCoMo and Japan Telecom have said they will base their services on the W-CDMA standard developed by DoCoMo, Sweden's Ericsson AB and Finland's Nokia OYJ.
