Long before Vodafone acquired majority ownership of Japan Telecom
and J-Phone, DoCoMo introduced i-mode in February 1999. When the
explosive success of i-mode became clear, DoCoMo's competitors
(J-Phone, KDDI) also needed to introduce a similar data service,
but of course it could not be a precise copy.
J-Phone's data service is called Jsky, and was set up before
Vodafone controlled J-Phone.
It's the other way round: the ROW and the rest of Vodafone used
a lot of J-Sky/J-Phone's know-how to set up Vodafone Live.
