There is no need to rush from one extreme to another.
What the article states are facts and they are troublesome for
DoCoMo, but that doesn't mean they will go out of business nor that
they will abandon their 3G roll-out. It just means that euphoria will
give way to a sense of reality, which is a positive thing after all.
