Not sure if it is relevant but i-mode is working on an end-to-end IP
system now which will be deploy sometime next year.
One of the original reason that i-mode didnt go pure IP is they couldnt
get enough IP address for it (they designed i-mode to handle 6M users
originally) and that is quite huge for APNIC.
