3G In Japan Breaks Down
from the that-was-quick dept
With all the hoopla over the 3G wireless launch in Japan, it certainly did not take very long for the system to break down. Eighteen hours into the test run, emails couldn't be sent to the phones due to a small server problem. These things definitely happen - and it doesn't appear that this is really a problem with the 3G network. However, considering all the attention this is getting (and that DoCoMo has been asking for) things like this look bad. If they want people to buy into 3G, it's important that people really think 3G is useful and valuable as opposed to a complete waste of money.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
