...Korea & Japan Trip Spring 2001 NTT DoCoMo and Japan’s Wireless Industry Anu Bhave Haakon Brown Will Chu Jose De Oteyza Mario Lewis Wendy Miller Luis Pintado NTT DoCoMo seems to have the elements of a successful global player. First, it is in a promising market. The wireless phone market is growing rapidly and industry forecasts predict more than half the world’s population will own a cellular phone by the year 2003, a much higher penetration rate than computers. Furthermore, based in Japan, DoCoMo has the advantage over American and European counterparts, like AT&T, Sprint and Vodafone AirTouch, of being closer to the 3.3 billion person Asian market. In addition, DoCoMo is at the leading edge of technology and is expected to be the first mobile operator to launch a 3rd Generation (3G) wireless network by Spring 2001. NTT DoCoMo Background In 1959 Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) entered the telephone industry in Japan with an offering of maritime telephone service. They added paging services in 1968, car telephone services in 1986, and in-flight public telephone service in 1987. In 1991 NTT established a separate company to provide wireless communication offerings, NTT Mobile Communications Network, Inc. This new company was then spun off by NTT in 1992, ultimately resulting in one of the biggest initial public offerings for the time in 1998, and is now 67.1% owned...

... The technology that achieves this depends on the system which the mobile phone operator has adopted. The Common Technologies used by operators in India are GSM and CDMA. With the advent of 3G technology systems a new era in Mobile technology in India is about to be born. GSM (GLOBAL SYSTEM FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION) GSM is a widely used Second Generation cellular telecom network .Since the technology is fully digital it enables Digital encryption, which provides a moderate security of Phone conversations, compression of data, and mobile data services (eg. SMS). Today, GSM holds a share of 82.4%, includes the 3GSM service, of world mobile connection with more than 690 mobile networks spreading across 213 countries. Being the most popular mobile phone standard, GSM facilitates the network operators to have roaming agreements with other operators, even foreign operators, allowing the users continue using their mobile phones even when they travel to other countries. The Multiple access method, allowing several cells to share the same communication channel, in GSM is a variation of Time Division Multiple access(TDMA).In TDMA several users share the same frequency spectrum by establishing h links in different time slots one after the other where each user using his own time slot. By multiplexing the time space GSM supports one transmitter/receiver for several receivers/transmitters. The analogy provided by Qualcomm illustrates the concept Imagine a room full of people...
