NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight regional
subsidiaries announced that the number of subscribers to DoCoMo's 3G
FOMA® service surpassed the 20 million mark on December 29, 2005, a
little over four years since the service's launch on October 1, 2001.
DoCoMo attributes the rapid subscriber growth to its expanding range of
3G handsets, including new 902i FOMA models equipped for PushTalk™
walkie-talkie-style communication, ToruCa™ information download services
and i-channel™ automatic telop-style information updates (news,
etc.).DoCoMo also cites its almost nationwide coverage as a contributing
factor.
The company expects FOMA subscriptions to reach 23.5 million by the end
of March 2006
