article...
>NTT DoCoMo Inc. looked invincible only a year ago but is now >struggling
>toward an uncertain future.
>
>The domestic cellphone market has peaked, and telecommunications >stocks
>have been savaged around the globe, troubling overseas partners >and
>affiliates into which DoCoMo has sunk 1.8 trillion yen since Sept. >1998.
>
>Amid these uncertainties, FOMA's troubles seem to be casting a
> >particularly dark shadow over the company's future.
>
>Most telecom firms, for instance, are hesitating to launch 3G >services,
>which will likely delay the company's goal of forming a >global network --
>one of FOMA's a major selling points.
