It means that a user will be able to select which ISP to use to access the
internet ( i-mode sites ) in a similar way to the fixed internet. ie. using
So-net while the local loop is owned by NTT or like international carriers
on top of the local loop.
This is already happening in the PHS band with Tokyo Astel Dot-i or DoCoMo's
browserphone (not sure about this last one but its already 1214 midnight in
Tokyo...)
