DoCoMo chief hypes 4G at IEEE conference

DoCoMo CEO and president Keiji Tachikawa yesterday offered some of his company's vision
for 4G at the IEEE Global Communications Conference in Taipei. Tachikawa stood by his
earlier prediction that by 2010 Japan, with a population of around 120 million, will have
570 million wireless data devices, including 20 million devices worn by cats and dogs. 4G
increased bandwidth promises such new services as electronic wallets and virtual reality
displays that incorporate three-dimensional visuals, audio, and even air pressure fields.
Despite Tachikawa's enthusiasm for 4G, DoCoMo's 3G service, FOMA, continues to under
perform.
