Competition Keeps DOCOMO Down

NTT DOCOMO, Japan's largest mobile operator, said that its operating revenues in the quarter ending December 31 were 1.071 trillion yen (13.07 billion US dollars), which amounts to a year-on-year decline of 2.3%.

The Toyko-based firm said: "As Japan's mobile phone market continues to mature in line with the cellular penetration rate, competition among operators is expected to remain intense in such areas as acquisition of subscribers and further improvement of service offerings.

"Under these market conditions, although an increase in the number of subscribers and an increase in packet communications revenues are expected, operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 are estimated to be 4.209 trillion yen, a decrease of 75.4 billion yen (1.8%) from the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a decrease in voice revenues and equipment sales." source: DOCOMO statement
