NTT DoCoMo Tops 5 Million 3G FOMA Subscribers

NTT DoCoMo has surpassed the five million subscriber mark for its 3G "FOMA" service. DoCoMo attributes the rapid increase to the growing popularity of its latest 3G models in the 900i series, as well as its enhanced service area. The Japanese carrier said it now provides coverage in 99.7% of the populated areas of the country. Since June, the number of indoor base stations has increased to about 2000, which includes all subway stations within both the Tokyo Metro and Toei subway systems. http://www.nttdocomo.com/
