More companies to enter cell phone market
It would seem that the Japanese mobile phone market, dominated by giants NTT DoCoMo, KDDI and Vodafone, would naturally scare off would-be competitors due to the already fierce competition and necessary retail investment. It turns out, however, that they were merely being held back by government regulations, which are set to finally allow new competition next year, for the first time in 12 years, to three companies: Softbank, eAccess and IP Mobile, as reported by both AFP and Kyodo News.
