NTT DoCoMo Profit Fall Reflects Cell Phone Market Saturation
DoCoMo operating profits fell a steep 29% in the last fiscal year. "We have entered the 15th year of our business . . . and penetration [of mobile phones in Japan] is approaching 70% so we are beginning to see a limit to the growth of mobile phones," said DoCoMo president Masao Nakamura. The resulting market plateau is forcing all Japanese cell phone carriers to lower costs to attract new customers.
