Moreover, we are making efforts to have our promising W-CDMA technology accepted
as the world standard for the third-generation mobile communication system. NTT
DoCoMo is continuing to push back the frontiers of mobile multimedia technology.
The name DoCoMo is derived from the first letters of the phrase "Do Communications
