Re: Japan "Wireless Web" subs. << Here is a link to the Japanese sub numbers for the year. During October, KDDI added 330,000 new EZweb customers >> Yo da man! Great link that I had never seen. Took me a bit to get acclimatized to it. For the threads benefit, Here is the breakout of total Japanese Mobile Web Services subs through October 31, 2000: 1.) NTT DoCoMo Group - "i-mode" - 14,037,000 total subs 2.) KDDI all combined - "EZweb" - 4,222,700 total subs 3.) The J-PHONE Group - "J-sky" - 3,540,100 total subs Total Japan "Wireless Web" subs = 21,799,800 end October 2000 Note: KDDI "EZweb" subscribers are derived from the total of the recently merged companies as follows: "au" Group = 3,491,600 total subs TU-KA Group = 731,100 total subs October Japan "Wireless Web" Increase: 1.) NTT DoCoMo Group - "i-mode" - 1,389,000 total subs 2.) The J-PHONE Group - "J-sky" - 3,540,100 total subs 3.) KDDI all combined - "EZweb" - 4,222,700 total subs October Increase = 2,121,100 This cross hatches pretty closely with my previous clip from todays Reuters: "In October, the total number of users accessing the Internet through cell phones in Japan jumped 10.7 percent from September to 21.8 But of that total, KDDI's EZ-Web only accounted for 19 percent while DoCoMo's "i-mode" service held 64 percent." When Keith said ... "In the last report I saw from DDI, they said they were signing up 1 million of their customers per month for their new wireless Internet service. This report was published back in August or September in a article featuring the new color microbrowsers that Hitachi was including on their phones" .. he may have misinterpreted month for quarter. or he may have seen a DoCoMo report. Anyway, thanks again for a great link. << makes the vacation even nicer when you come back from the golf course and see that Qualcomm is up a couple of points a day ;-). >> OK Slacker "Bagger Vance". NO CHEERLEADING! - Eric -
