Slow
Growth - DoCoMo 3G Users In 4Q |

4th February 2003 |

TOKYO
(Dow Jones)--Japan's mobile phone giant NTT DoCoMo Inc. (DCM or 9437)
said Monday it signed up 16,300 new subscribers to its third-generation
"FOMA" mobile communications service in the October-December
quarter. DoCoMo's 3G service had attracted only 152,000 subscribers by the end of December since the launch of the service in October 2001. Although the 152,000 total represents almost a sixfold increase from the 27,000 signups as of the end of December 2001, DoCoMo will needs to lure a further 168,000 customers to achieve its 3G subscriber forecast of 320,000 subscribers for this fiscal year ending March 31. That could be a tough task even for Japan's dominant cellular operator as it was forced to delay the sales of three new 3G handsets from December to the beginning of this year in order to resolve technical problems with the handsets. -Tokyo
