I forgot where I first heard it - it's kind of common industry knowledge here in Tokyo. Maybe first time was when Natsuno-san said it at the JAVA conference here in Tokyo, but I forgot where I heard this first. It's kind of obvious that they must respond in this way to KDDI/AU, I was waiting for this. quick_thinking

DoCoMo FOMA Flat Rate << Have you a pointer? >> This is from this weeks "A Week in Wireless #135" (19 March 2004) by 'The Informer' for Informa: KDDI and NTT DoCoMo are locked in a battle for mobile data subscribers. From June DoCoMo will offer its first flat rate for 3G mobile internet access, Reuters has reported. The price will be set at Y3,900 ($35.84) and will be limited to FOMA users on high-end price plans. The initiative is designed to undercut a similar plan launched by KDDI in November, which offers users of its CDMA1x EV-DO network unlimited access for Y4200 a month. telecoms.com Also: 3gnewsroom.com Note: Like KDDI this will be for handsets, no doubt, NOT modem cards.
