Hello,

The item below is taken from a press release by Strategis Group, 22 November:

http://www.strategisgroup.com/press/pubs/att.html

<begin quote>Just how successful has NTT been?  I-mode is largest wireless 
Internet service in world, with almost 12 million subscribers today, and 
charting growth rates of 4% per week, or 10% per month.  This is phenomenal 
when compared to growth on Japan’s second generation (2G) networks, which 
is about 1% per month.  NTT has about 70% of the Japanese wireless Internet 
market, while the total user base in Japan (approximately 20 million 
wireless Internet users) represents 40% of the world total.,<end quote>

Questions:
1. Can anyone tell me how Japan's 20 million-odd wireless Internet 
constitute only 40% of the world total (where are the other 30 million)?
2. What do they mean by "compared to growth on Japan's second generation 
networks"?

Cheers,
SW
