	CNN.com - DoCoMo 'ending 3 UK ties' - Mar. 1, 2004
		DoCoMo now may seek to link with mm02 Plc, the smallest of Britain's four mobile phone operators and the only one not tied to a large mobile phone group.
		DoCoMo invested 184.6 billion yen ($1.69 billion) in Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa Ltd's 3 UK unit in December 2000 to spread its i-mode technology.
		DoCoMo's decision comes on the heels of a similar move last November by Dutch carrier KPN to sell back its stake in 3 UK to Hutchison.

	CNN.com - Big writedown on cards for DoCoMo - March 28, 2002
		DoCoMo President Keiji Tachikawa said a decision on a widely expected writedown of his company's $9.8 billion investment in AT&T Wireless Services Inc, by far its largest foreign holding, could come as early as Friday.
		DoCoMo began i-mode services in Germany this month, with Belgium and Holland to follow soon and a rollout in the U.S. likely later this year.
		DoCoMo's net profit in the year to March 2001 was a record 365 billion yen ($2.75 billion).

	CNN.com - DoCoMo rides out ratings downgrade - Jan. 7, 2003
		Japan's biggest stock, NTT DoCoMo, is trading higher Wednesday after ratings agency Moody's Investors Service cut its long-term debt outlook from stable to negative.
		DoCoMo, which is majority owned by state-controlled NTT, is Japan's leading mobile phone operator and holds stakes in several overseas telcommunications companies in Asia, Europe and the United States.
		Moody's said the low subscriber number was mainly due to the relative overall attractiveness of FOMA (DoComo's 3G service name), such as original geographic coverage, battery life of handsets as well as service content, compared to that of existing second-generation (2G) services.

	Fool.com: Why DoCoMo Matters to Investors [Fool on the Hill] December 15, 2000
		DoCoMo's proprietary protocol, called i-mode, provides a simple platform for content providers to serve mobile customers, since it uses a derivative of HTML, the markup language that is already used in Web design in the PC environment.
		DoCoMo will introduce Java-enabled (and thus encryption-supporting) phones, and will also launch the world's first 3G network in the next year, speeding up throughput speeds by a factor of 30.
		DoCoMo is anxious to spread the gospel of i-mode to the rest of the world, but thus far it has only been designed to work in Japan, piggybacking on parent company and dominant carrier NTT's (NYSE: NTT) network.

		DoCoMo President Keiji Tachikawa has said a global stock offering, either in London or New York, was not likely before March 2002 but that an offering could be done earlier if funding were needed.
		The British paper said DoCoMo was not expected to issue new shares when it lists in New York, but that a portion of the 64.05% in stock held by NTT could be sold.
		DoCoMo became the first company in the world to offer 3G services last month with an introductory launch of fast mobile phones that make fast Net access and music and video downloads possible.

	BBC NEWS \| Business \| DoCoMo delays 3G launch
		Analysts said the delay wouldn't be damaging to DoCoMo's profits - the company had only bargained on 150,000 3G subscribers for the first year - but would add to the unease of telecoms investors around the world about prospects for 3G.
		DoCoMo had been expected to lead the way in 3G, both in terms of technology and in showing which new services appealed to consumers.
		One suggestion was that DoCoMo's senior management had been keen on the equity financing because it would dilute the stake of NTT to a level where it no longer had the right to dissolve the board or replace directors.

	DoCoMo in $9.8B pact with AT&T Wireless - Nov. 30, 2000
		DoCoMo, a separately listed unit of NTT Corp., is expected to roll out its new wireless Internet technology, "i-mode," on a widespread basis next Spring that will provide Web access at speeds 10 times faster than what is commonly available today, analysts said.
		DoCoMo is the world's second-largest mobile-phone operator by subscriber numbers and at ¥26.5 trillion ($239 billion) is the most valuable company listed on the Tokyo exchange.
		DoCoMo has been looking to leverage its leading-edge technology and domestic hegemony to break into new regions of the globe.

		Hutchison, whose ownership is split three unequal ways between DoCoMo, Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa and Dutch phone firm KPN, is trying to extend a £2.2bn loan due to mature in March 2004.
		But DoCoMo's 1990s strategy of taking minority stakes in mobile operators world-wide - at a cost of 1.9 trillion yen - foundered as the tech boom went bust, resulting in a huge write-off.
		DoCoMo's own 3G service, the first in the world launched in October 2001, has met with limited appeal, with slow takeup blamed on expensive handsets, poor battery life and restricted coverage.

	Future Looks Bright For DoCoMo - Technology News by TechWeb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		With plans to launch 3G cellular services next year, earlier than any other carrier, DoCoMo -- which means "anywhere" -- seems to be taking a different strategy than the likes of Vodafone (stock: VOD) and Verizon (stock: VZ) who have been gobbling up carriers to create a larger corporate identity.
		Far ahead of anything available in the United States or Europe, i-mode lets users with a handheld cell phone send and receive e-mail (using a system compatible with other i-mode users as well as with PC and PDA users) transfer money, trade stocks, make a restaurant reservation, and check news headlines.
		The 3G service will let users with a handheld terminal watch motion pictures because it will be equipped to deal with a data transmission speed of 2 Mbits/s, communicate with their counterparts with high-quality voice (the same as that of fixed lines), and browse the Internet.

		DoCoMo runs three mobile systems: its fast-growing third generation network, its regular mobile network and a low-cost, low range service called PHS.
		But with usage falling steadily, DoCoMo is now scrapping PHS at a cost of 61bn yen ($585m; £304m).
		The effect of its decision, DoCoMo said, would be to pull operating profits for the group down to 769bn yen for the year to March 2005 from an earlier prediction of 830bn yen.

	Amazing DoCoMo (int'l edition)
		DoCoMo's 1999 operating profits are expected to hit $5 billion, on revenues of $36 billion.
		Perhaps more important, DoCoMo represents a potent legacy--one that was once referred to as Japan Inc. Through the 1970s and '80s, NTT and its family of powerful equipment suppliers--Fujitsu, NEC, and Hitachi among them--embodied some of Japan's most successful industrial policies.
		DoCoMo's army of engineers--many inherited from NTT--fought the upstarts by developing the world's smallest cell phones, sharing the specifications with handset makers such as Fujitsu and Matsushita Communication.

		DoCoMo opted to put this service on a circuit-switched service because it will offer a time-based charge, which is similar, though more expensive, than regular telephone calls.
		The company was running at full speed towards the May launch date when, in February of this year, a series of high-profile glitches with handsets for the company's new Java-based service sent a jolt through the company.
		A more cautious air fell on the company and, as the 3G launch date loomed, DoCoMo began to realize that all of the pieces needed to launch the service might not be in place in time.

		DoCoMo said it had sold all of its 20,980 shares in Japanese Internet service provider DoCoMo AOL Inc to the U.S. partner.
		DoCoMo declined to reveal the sales amount, but sources close to the deal told Reuters that it had sold the stake for about 440 million yen ($4.09 million), or 21,000 yen per share -- about one-fortieth of what it had invested over the past three years.
		DoCoMo took a 42.3 percent stake in the joint venture in September 2000 and had invested 17 billion yen, but it slashed the book value of the investment to around 1.3 billion yen by March this year due to a rapid deterioration of the business, the DoCoMo source said.
