indeed - seems a very convenient ready made excuse for NTT... perhaps
managed so?

Subject: (keitai-l) Re: 3g might be delayed until next year?
Contrary to the subject line, this isn't "3G might be delayed", but
rather "high-speed data transmission will probably be delayed."
3G being more than just data.
Reading between the lines: I suspect that, by "quality", MPT
really means "speed." To the extent that 3G network "spend"
(ooh, there, I said it!) is on the back-end network infrastructure,
this MPT decision could be good for NTT's present service offerings,
as well as their earnings. NTT can improve (and gain market share in)
existing services by substituting 3G-targeted equipment both voice and
i-mode, while not having to face the music (so to speak) over the
rapidly-dying expectations built up by 3G hype. NTT can shrug and
say "the government stopped us."
