DOCOMO to Add Service Option for Flat-rate Data Service
NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced today that beginning December 1 it will reduce the monthly maximum charge for packet communications with a PC or other device under the Pake-hodai double flat-rate data service to 5,985 yen, down from 13,650 yen (both figures include tax), at selected Internet access points. The revision is for users of DOCOMO phone-tethered external devices such as PCs and handheld gaming consoles at access speeds of up to 128 Kbps (uplinks of 64 Kbps). Other monthly maximum charges for Pake-hodai double will remain unchanged.
The reduced charge will enable users to enjoy carefree use of Pake-hodai double not only for using i-mode and i-mode Full Browser, but also for extended online gaming on handheld consoles via mobile phones with Wi-Fi access point capability and exchanging brief PC e-mails via mobile phones tethered with USB cable, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. On December 1, the DOCOMO website will announce the connection method including specific access point configurations where the service will be available.
