Re: DoCoMo (KDDI) >> A handful may have the opportunity to try at 64kbs, but the vast majority will be slogging along at 9.6 for the forseeable future - and certainly through 2003... << Yup! A handful. Corporate users. And limited to "low user" 64 kbps, with very limited "non standard" infra deployed. Are you following KDDI's plans to launch in 800 MHz next fall and 2GHZ the following year with drastically reduced rates in an attempt to compete on price, and have you looked at the quarterly earnings results from KDDI? KDDI projecting 600,000 users of web services in same time frame DoCoMo projecting 100,000. Heck, KDDI is using advanced technology 64kbps packet data right now v. DoCoMo's 9.6 kbps packet data. Somebodies pretty clever. - Eric -
