(keitai-l) Re: GSM, PDC and proprietary systems

hi Juergen,

you should be able to tell yourself, if you use DoCoMo.

in most networks in the world, about 20% to 30% messages are
failed at the first attempt.  with even the primitive SMSCs,
like Korean or Chinese ones, you can easily raise the rate
to more than 95% using simple retry.

the less than 2% of the failed messages in au/KDDI and J-Phone
are usually concentrated on a small number of handsets.  normal
users almost never have to pull the messages manually.  many of
them don't even know there is a "mail-request" menu item.

give EZweb or J-Sky a try, you'll love it.

btw, it's interesting that the majority of J-Sky is still MML
(similar to i-mode), and most traffic still carried over CSD,
but J-Phone can manage to provide a better service and they
will do it even better with WAP.

I know many Japanese who prefer WAP over i-mode.  there are two
kinds of people who love i-mode: those who made a lot of money,
including many of my friends and many on this mailing list, and
those who have no idea what i-mode is.

cheers,

Ken

Ken,

can you back this with some hard facts or do you just hate
your ex-employer?
