Hi,

From today's Asahi Shimbun: "Phone e-mail gets OK on trains"

"Passengers in designated Tokyu Corp. train cars will be allowed 
to use e-mail and i-mode Internet functions on cellular phones but 
not make or receive calls, the private railway announced. 

Starting Monday, passengers will be allowed this limited use of 
their phones in odd numbered cars. All use of phones in even 
numbered cars will be prohibited."

Wow, odd numbered and even numbered cars, thats like smoking 
and non-smoking cars. I can already see trains with packed 
odd numbered cars (everybody busy checking e-mail) and 
totally empty even numbered cars :)

Cheers,
Andrea
