(keitai-l) official sites and discussion groups (or chat/bbs) on their Inter net sites

Hi 

As we know DoCoMo does not allow chat on their official sites but as I was
looking at the Internet sites of some i-mode official sites, I noticed
something strange - they do not seem to have any discussion groups (like
this great one!) even on their Internet sites?

Does anyone out there know an official site that has discussion groups or
chat/bbs on their Internet site - they're surely are some sites - or is
there another rule?

Thanks as always

A while back NTT caught a lot of heat for a service it offered called
"DialQ". It was some sort of party line thing, I'm not sure exactly how it
worked, but it allowed for some amount of anonymity between callers. Anyway,
it became a front for "enjokosai", or "paid dating" with school girls. A lot
of people put the blame on NTT for creating a service which allowed this to
happen.
So when i-mode got launched, they (DoCoMo or NTT, I'm not sure exactly where
the decision originated) decided they didn't want to risk any person to
person communication which could be altered into similar nefarious purposes,
because they didn't want the technology to get blamed for it.
Hope that answers your question.

Dave
