Where do you see a problem? People use Mobile Phones
to place calls...this is a really big revenue stream. AND they use it
for IMode and the other services. Don't separate these 2 streams all the
time. We talk about phones here and there is a reason why a phone
company like NTT is such a big beast.
They even make money by selling this big, blue talking mouse which can
read your emails for you and other merchandising things.

More mistakes...how do you want to separate the using of 'finding a
restaurant' (for a company dinner) = Serious and 'finding a
restaurant' (for a spontanous party) = Entertainment and how do you want
to separate the using of 'reading News about the death sailors at the
Kursk' = Serious and 'reading News about the singer and model Ayuma' =
Entertainment?
It's (sorry to say this) stupid to separate this in 'serious' and
'entertainment'.
SK> Seems weird for a newbie like me :-))
Actually this discussion seems weird to me :))

I once found the best description of humour ever.
Imagine a clown is falling into a piece of cake and look at you...
This is funny.
Imagine a clown is looking at you and he says "I have cancer"...
This is not funny.
