Growing use of mobile data transfers in Japan (Excerpt from this weeks Total Telecom) at totaltele.com "People are beginning to have two terminals: a cellular phone from one's company, and a PHS terminal for e-mail and data for oneself." Personal digital cellular (PDC) networks - Japan's sole digital cellular standard until cdmaOne services begin in July - can only handle data at 9.8 kilobits per second, a factor that has kept wireless data access to a minimum. PHS, though, already offers throughput of 32 Kbps, and Tokyo-based DDI Corp. - the only PHS operator whose overall subscriber base has continued to grow - plans to boost that first to 64 Kbps, and then to 128 Kbps, by March 1999.
