Only yesterday, the FT reported that "...KPN Mobile plans to introduce a
similar service (i-mode)in Europe, possibly this year"  

How will they do it?

I-mode on GSM?  where i-mode content can be viewed but the benefits of
packaged data cannot be implemented.  This would be a very costly service -
to the consumer, of course.

Wait for GPRS?

I have heard rumors that the Japanese handset manufacturers have GSM i-mode
enabled phones in production - any truth to the rumor?
