Prepaid cell phone firms tighten user regulations
|
| |
Summary
(12/2/2004) Cell phone companies and the Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry announced enhanced measures against the misuse of prepaid cell phones in cell phone-related crimes. One of the measures directs companies to reconfirm users’ names and addresses when they buy the cell phones. If users cannot be confirmed, the cell phone companies are allowed to stop their service. This month cell phone companies will start revising contract clauses and reconfirm the identity of users of phones found by police to have been used in crimes. If users do not respond to inquiries, the service will be terminated. (Daily Yomiuri)

NEC Electronics to Develop System LSI for 3G Mobile Phones
|
| |
Summary
(11/29/2004) NEC will develop a W-CDMA compatible baseband LSI, a "dual-mode" baseband LSI which also supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE, to introduce the technology to mobile phones that NEC markets overseas. NEC will also start commercializing a system-on-chip LSI integrated with an application processor that NEC Electronics is currently developing. NEC decided to collaborate with NEC Electronics to develop this LSI after finding defects in a mobile phone it had developed for Hutchison Whampoa of Hong Kong. Because NEC could not sufficiently integrate its proprietary W-CDMA baseband control technologies and the GSM format licensed out from Agere Systems, the mobile phone turned out to have issues such as dysfunctional band-over between W-CDMA and GSM, and a larger power consumption compared with other companiesf products. The companies are planning to complete development in the second half of fiscal 2006.

DoCoMo to offer i-mode technology to mmO2
|
| |
Summary
(11/25/2004) DoCoMo has reached a basic agreement to offer its popular i-mode mobile Internet technology to Britain’s mmO2, who is expected to launch i-mode-based services as early the middle of 2005. Britain has been the last major European country where i-mode has no presence. MmO2 Chief Executive Peter Erskine said last week the company would decide by year-end on whether to introduce i-mode. The technology helped jump-start Japan’s mobile growth when it was launched in February 1999 and secured DoCoMo’s leading position in the industry. In Japan, 43 million subscribers, or about one-third of the population, use i-mode.

KDDI Unveils Cell Phone-Based Remote Diagnosis System for Strokes
|
| |
Summary
(11/24/2004) KDDI will start marketing a cell-phone based diagnosis system for cerebral infarction next summer. The new system immediately sends diagnostic images of patients to the cell phones of neurosurgeons, located away from their hospital, via KDDI’s high-speed data transmission service. Neurosurgeons can receive 30 computerized tomography (CT) images in one minute via the Internet, allowing them to detect small thrombi as accurately as when they are at the hospital. (NE Asia Online)
