(keitai-l) Re: Videocalls 10% of FOMA revenue

With the subscriber base relatively low, isn't there an element of the
early adopters still skewing the numbers?

Also, there's the 'is that a 3G phone? Show me a video call' factor. The
handsets are bulky, heavy, low battery life etc - so if I had one I'd
use the video a lot to 'prove' it was worth it, to me and to the friends
making fun of me for being such a geek...

This sound high to me - Video calls need to compete with normal voice =
traffic, browsing, email data and application network use given the =
penetration of FOMA vs 'normal' phone in jp I would have expected lower

Recently Ntt DoCoMo Ceo announced that
videocalls are about the 10% of FOMA
revenue.

This could be also because of the limited
numbers of FOMA subscribers and because
videocalls are not suited for every day
formal business communication.

What do you think?
