Suggestion is that it is this congestion that is forcing DoCoMo to adopt 3G,
rather than any deemed pent up demand for multimedia services etc. Is this
true? Also 1% would seem low given the noted increase in data AND voice
traffic that accompanies i-mode uptake.
On a related subject I found it quite ironic that Tokyo, the world of
ubiquitous sophisticated mobile communications, is still a world where
people wander about, twitching antennas manually extended for every call and
straining to understand each other over a limited audio bandwidth. It may
be sacrilege for this list but in crisp GSM world antennas seem so passé, so
low tech and old fashioned!
