i-Mode is a 'WAP-like' mobile
internet service originating in Japan. Unlike the
original WAP implementations, i-Mode does not require
a gateway to translate requests and is a much more
"open" system. The transport layers use an IP-based
architecture across packet switched
radio networks (GPRS/PDC-P). The i-Mode service also
specifies an email program interface. Japanese carrier
NTT DoCoMo launched the i-mode service in 1999. NTT
DoCoMo has established business models based on
revenue sharing with the content and application
service providers and built up a large base of
compatible applications. DoCoMo has started
exporting i-Mode technologies outside Japan, beginning
with minority investments in several foreign carriers
including
Netherland's KPN, Germany's ePlus, France's
Bouygues Telecom, Belgium's BASE, and Spain's
Telefonica Moviles. |
