hi Benjamin, I'll try to reply to your points one by one.

the success of data PHS is based on the failure of the voice PHS,
that the operators made excessive investment without a business
case. there are some examples in the PDC world, too. one is
the success of i-mode that DoCoMo updated to PDC-P without any
real market study, and the other is TU-KA messenger which is made
possible because it got extra capacity by losing customers.
why DDI can provide faster speed and fixed monthly access fee
is because their good good network will be wasted anyway.
it’s an excellent service I agree, but I’m afraid that the window
is now closing. there are so many Japanese companies, electronic
manufacturers, are behind Wi-Fi now, and the competition will
bring the price down very quickly, like the broad-band access.
cheers,
Ken
