cHTML or WML in the presentation layer really doesn't make that difference.
Basically most efforts in creating a service is the service logic itself,
which is in essence largely presentation layer independent. Thus, most
European service developers are able to create a cHTML site out of a WML
site in a flash.

Bull. It's a matter of having support for rich media in the handset. Adding
additional types within the browser would be easy. Japan is blessed with
handset manufacturers that have a clue. Nokia, Ericsson and Siemens
definately have no clue when it comes to handsets supporting rich media.
