Docomo is doing the roll-out in phases: first only the Tokyo
metropolitan region (which has ~30m people, over 20% of the population),
then the Kansai cluster of Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto, and going on from there...
the May 2001 rollout will be Tokyo only and it will be several years
until they have anything approaching nationwide coverage.

Cheers,
