Anyone have any idea what technology NTT plans to use in March 1999!! NTT DoCoMo To Shift Analog Mobile-Phone Service To Digital September 24, 1998 Nikkei English News via NewsEdge Corporation : TOKYO (Nikkei)--The nine companies of NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc. (NTT DoCoMo) plan to apply to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications for approval to terminate analog mobile-phone services at the end of March 1999. The companies intend to provide digital service over the former analog frequencies. The switch to high-efficiency digital signals will let NTT DoCoMo boost its network capacity to cope with a sharp rise in the number of subscribers. NTT DoCoMo announced its plans at the end of last year, when it stopped selling new analog-type portable phones. The 82,000 NTT DoCoMo service subscribers in Japan are slated to receive digital-type portable phones free of charge at the time of the switch.
