HW and DoCoMo announce 3G collaboration agreement
April 23, 2003
Hutchison Whampoa and NTT DoCoMo announced an agreement to co-operate
in the development and promotion of 3G mobile multimedia and communications
services on an international basis.
Hutchison Whampoa is bringing the world's first 3G services operating
on dual mode (2G/3G) networks to consumers in 9 countries in Europe, the
Middle East and Asia-Pacific under the 3 brand.
This agreement initially unites the research and marketing capabilities
of two of Hutchison Whampoa's nine 3G operations, in Hong Kong and the
UK, with those of NTT DoCoMo, whose 3G FOMA service in Japan was the world's
first commercial 3G/W-CDMA service when it launched in October 2001 in
Japan.
Under the agreement, the two companies will share information on handset
development, radio network architecture and the development of global
3G standards. Additionally both companies will jointly examine potential
areas of cooperation in the creation of multimedia applications, in international
3G roaming and in corporate sales and systems solutions.
Hutchison Whampoa Group Managing Director Canning Fok said: "NTT DoCoMo's
technological prowess at the cutting-edge of mobile communications is
unrivalled. This agreement represents a marriage between that expertise
and the global commercial scale of Hutchison Whampoa's activities in the
3G arena. Cooperation of this kind offers significant advantages to both
companies and - most importantly - to our respective customers."
