Sandra,
Wind is supporting prepaid subscribers on i-mode since beginning.

I don't have official data about prepaid subs in Wind, but I have for TIM
and Vodafone Italy:
TIM (Q1/2003) - customer base 25,6M (SIM); 88,9% prepaid
Vodafone (Q1/2003) - customer base 19,5M (SIM); 92% prepaid

I would expect Wind to have at least the same number of prepaid users.

Giorgio

I read yesterday that KPN offers the first i-mode via prepaid.
Gerhard, do you expect to offer i-mode via prepaid in Italy aswell?
What is the market share between pre- and postpaid in Italy?

Gr.
Sandra

Here are the italian i-mode details
announced at the launch event in
Milan:

CONTENT PROVIDERS
140 content providers involved with
 more than 200 sites.

HANDSETS
Nec N341i  399 euro
Nec N223i 249 euro
As promotion they will include some
free call time, free messages and
e-mail traffic.

COSTS
Single content service cost
 per month is between 1 euro and 3
euro plus 1 cent per kbyte of data
traffic (No flat as expected).

JAVA CONTENT
Supported only on the  N341i.

My first impression:
Great content selection but
poor choice of handsets due
to the proprietary technology
used.

We will see.

I will post more details in the future.

Giovanni Bertani
