I really don't think you can call WAP in Japan a failure. 2-1/2 million
subscribers, in just over a year, in the face of the NTT Docomo juggernaut
and the Norika boom over on J, is pretty impressive. And all of those
subscribers have signed on for a new, untried service (CDMAOne), not just a
new feature on the old PDC platform. Of course the numbers pale in
comparison to the NTT numbers, but they are an extreme case.

Should've got the Sony...
