It looks like KDDI agrees with you....VOD services by November. nni.nikkei.co.jp Wednesday, August 22, 2001 Au, J-Phone, DoCoMo To Launch Video-Transmission Services TOKYO (Nikkei)--KDDI Corp.'s (9433) cellular phone division, au, will start a video-image transmission service as early as November, company sources said Wednesday. Subscribers of au's cell phone-based EZ Web Internet-access service will be able to receive video images, such as news programs, music videos, movie/TV advertisements and restaurant information. Initially, au will transmit 10-20 seconds of video images using its existing 64kbps data communications network. When the network speeds up to 144kbps, possibly in the fall, videos as long as 4-5 minutes will be transmitted. J-Phone Group is considering offering a similar service sometime before the year-end, ahead of its planned launch of a third-generation cell phone service next June. NTT DoCoMo Inc. (9437) plans to offer a video-transmission service before year-end via its 3G cell phone format, Foma, offering a throughput of 384kbps. (The Nihon Keizai Shimbun Thursday morning edition)
