(1) au/KDDI and Vodafone Japan's wireless data services have been proved to be more successful than DoCoMo's i-mode. More detailed studies can show that Vodafone Japan was more successful in 2001 and 2002, while au/KDDI has been more successful since. The statistics also show huge advantage against DoCoMo and Vodafone Japan. Recently DoCoMo is forced to slice it FOMA packet prices up to 50% in an effort to hold the out-going customers. DoCoMo will also follow the suit to provide flat data rate.
(2) It's important to stress that au/KDDI emphasizes the data services more than other operators and this is enabled by its cdma2000 network which is by far more efficient than W-CDMA networks that DoCoMo and Vodafone Japan use.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wasabie (talk • contribs) 00:46, 29 March 2004 (UTC)[reply]
