DoCoMo 3G subscribers surpass 50% of total user base

Today DoCoMo announced that subscribers to its 3G FOMA service had exceeded 50% of its 51.1 million strong customer base on the 18th June this year.

FOMA was launched in October 2001, but clunky handsets and spotty coverage put consumers off the new service. Rival operator au managed to steal a move on DoCoMo with its CDMA1X Win 3G service, and has been the most successful Japanese 3G operator currently with 22.5 million of its 23.3 subscribers on 3G. Vodafone Japan has the least 3G subscribers – less than a third of its 11.8 million subscribers.
