Interesting, I didn't know this.

While I don't have a problem with the name change it is a rather 
unfortunate swap in a country that has no sound for V.  Vodafone 
sounds "boda-hone" in Japan. it's also a longer name, and that 
they're changing my address from a keitai-friendly @jp-t.ne.jp to a 
decidedly longer @vodaphone.something kind of irks me.  I'd be 
happier if they'd just leave the old addresses alone and give new 
subs the new address.  

Lawrence.
