By the way, I didn't include the 40% numbers and the comment about second generation networks.

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
