Summary in English from dottocomu:
(1) FOMA downlink speeds will rise to 2Mbps average, 14Mbps peak in
2005.
(2) DoCoMo's cellphone worldview is "80% data, 20% voice". DoCoMo has
already reached this stage and thinks the world will ultimately follow
suit. It also believes that machine to machine communications are a big
part of the future (this is something the company has been talking
about for a while).
(3) FOMA functions are set to broaden dramatically. One of the
presentation slides lists noncontact ICs, RFID, 2D barcode, credit card
and infra-red data transfer as future functions to enable mobile
e-commerce. All have been mentioned before, but from the slide it looks
like the plan is to include all of them as standard in all phones. (?)
GPS navigation, remote monitoring, and terrestrial digital TV tuners
also look likely to be included.
