The mobile phone has become an indispensable part of peaple’s live, a tool you use from the time you wake up until the time you go to bed at night. Now almost everyone carries one, and it is the closest piece of the “commu- nications infrastructure” for most people. We are moving forward to provide services that are even further tailored to people’s lives. DoCoMo is striving to transform mobile phones into a part of users’ “lifestyle infrastructure” by providing lifestyle assistance services such as electronic money, credit card and ticket functions, and services including audio and video clip downloads and search functions that can be used with flat-rate packet billing plans, international servic- es that have become even more accessible and other services.
