(keitai-l) ouch -- the washington post writes about i-mode

Hi,

a totally weird "i-mode vs wap" quote from the Washington Post 
Foreign Service: "WAP, Europe's Wireless Dud?"

source:
http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8390-2000Sep14.html

-------------------- quote --------------------- 

"The most successful effort so far to put the Internet on 
cellular phones has been in Japan, where NTT DoCoMo Inc.'s 
I-mode system has about 10 million users daily. But I-mode 
uses specialized Japanese protocols, and it charges callers 
for each piece of information they access - for example, 
about 30 cents for a movie review -- while Western Net 
surfers generally expect Internet data to be free."

----------------- end of quote ----------------- 

ouch...

Cheers,
Andrea
