good link. thanks for sending it over.

a couple of follow on questions for the group: 

1) are sites dropped from being official i-mode sites to make room for 
new sites that need to come in? 

2) is the 9% fee to DoCoMo worth the traffic jump you might expect from 
being listed?

3) How do folks who are not on the official directory charge for their 
service? 

Incidently, for those who are interested, AT&T recently introduced mobile 
origination of text messages on their phones. I don't have the details 
about the service, but we'll see if this makes text messaging more common 
in the US.
