Hmm...? At least at MoMuC-2000, DoCoMo's CEO showed a nice little graph
of projected future mobile use. The growth in voice services will reach
saturation in a few years when everybody has a phone, but there is huge
potential in data if people start to download movies and stuff through their
phones, which is why DoCoMo is concentrating its research on data services.
Naturally, what DoCoMo "really" thinks may be a different issue, but the
argument seems eminently plausible and downright obvious to me...
Cheers,
