DoCoMo to launch new cellphones and need killer apps
September 5, 2002
Keiji Tachikawa, CEO of DoCoMo, said the lack of strong appeal
of DoCoMo's 3G handsets to Japanese consumers was another major
factor behind the slow take-up of FOMA.
More importantly, the failure of DoCoMo and other local cellular
operators to find a "killer" 3G application has weighed down growth
in the 3G subscriber bases of DoCoMo and KDDI, Tachikawa said.
"I have heard the CDMA 2000 1X service of (KDDI's) 'au' unit has
been having difficulty finding a 'killer' application" as well,
he said, adding that mobile phone operators have the responsibility
to develop such highly popular applications for 3G cellphones.
To attract new subscribers, DoCoMo plans to provide appealing contents
and to expand the 3G service area to cover about 90% of residential
Japan by the end of March, he said.
DoCoMo also plans to introduce several new 3G handsets in autumn,
ranging from the standard type to cellphones equipped with video
cameras. These handsets are expected to offer a battery life of
at least 150 hours, roughly twice the length of the battery life
of existing 3G handsets.
