DoCoMo unveils plan to 'standardize' all phones

According to Telecom Asia, Japan’s largest mobile operator NTT DoCoMo plans to make all its models compatible with global standards so they can be used in more than 130 countries.

"The move will have all of DoCoMo's models compatible with GSM in two years, making it the first Japanese mobile company to do so, company sources said. At present, only a limited number of Japanese mobile phone models are usable overseas.

Under the new system, DoCoMo mobile phone users would also be able to use its i-mode Internet services in over 70 countries"
