NTT DoCoMo Denies Delay In 3G Rollout; Launch On May 30

>Kuwahata said DoCoMo will launch an "introductory" 3G service at the end of
May, to make sure that the initial phase of the service operates without
>communications glitches and software bugs. "We are aiming to provide a
100%-guaranteed service to the public," he said.
>DoCoMo then plans to steadily expand the "introductory" 3G service until
the end of September, and launch a full-fledged commercial service in
October, >Kuwahata said.
Is this a nice way to to say they are delaying?
I have experieced this "non commercial" introduction of services many times.
I the start ups where I was working that meant that we where not really
ready to launch (insufficient coverage, serious problems in the billing
system...) I bet they will offer foma to "friendly users" and that there
will be no way to get a foma phone before October...
