(keitai-l) Re: i-mode traffic to unofficial sites

Last week I've spoken to several different companies in Tokyo and also
received some information on this subject. Combining different sources gives
leads to this picture:

At the beginning of the week there were 591 Application Alliance Partners
(as DoCoMo calls their partners with 'official' sites) and 19.136 voluntairy
i-mode internet web sites (the 'unofficial sites). The number of unofficial
sites grows at this moment with 80-100 a day!

At this moment some 40% of the traffic goes to the unofficial sites, but
this grows rapidly. Not clear is how this traffic is counted (packets,
pages, hits, or what else...), because there are no clear defined standards
for measurement yet.
