And as I said, that's 5 YEARS away -- for the next 5 years, voice will still count for more than 50% of revenue. For the next couple of years, voice will count for alot more than 50% of revenue. Besides which, data use increases voice use, putting even more demand on voice
network.
Also, DoCoMo's lack of a clear 3G billing scheme for data indicates that for the short-term anyway, the focus will be on getting the core voice network to cover existing voice demands.
However, I'm sure that within a year or two DoCoMo will have a much clearer 3G data revenue plan, including a new, more data friendly billing scheme...in 10 years voice will be free anyway.
