This time you really pointed the nail on the head! Compare also DoCoMo
to AOL and you see another difference to the 'free' internet:
Customers. Everybody who wants to use the network is everytime a
customer because to access the network you need a contract with
them and if you are logged in, you are traceable. This means:
E-commerce made easy*.
If you compare this to the rest of the Internet than you see a
lot of (almost) untraceable Users who can become a customer at
different services (by identificating themselves).
Still i meet a lot of highly payed people who think the internet
consists of 250 million customers, and i can still repeat:
This is stupid.

*) Another question is: what is e-commerce? For DoCoMo e-commerce
starts in the moment, you connect to their network.
