Chaz, re Japan cdmaOne ramp From the CDG June 1 press release: DDI Corporation launched commercial cdmaOne service in Japan in July 1998. On April 14, 1999, IDO Corporation and remaining two companies of DDI's eight cellular telephone companies started the service. This marked the nation wide coverage of cdmaOne service in Japan. cdmaOne subscribers reached 814,200 at the end of April, 714,200 of DDI and 100,000 of IDO. I wish they were at 1MM/month but don't think so. Looks like 186,000 from April 30th to May 26th. Remember, Tokyo and national coverage just launched April 14. Should accelerate further with added phone models and increased data functionality in 4Q99. My guess is 3 million subs by year-end 99, and 9 million by year-end 00. I have not seen authoritative figures out of Brazil. Has anyone? Best regards, Jim
