Abstract: The biggest mobile player in Japan, NTT DoCoMo, was losing out in the race for 3G (third generation) mobile services. The company reduced its earnings forecast for the fiscal year 2004, in the light of a fierce price war besetting the mobile services market of Japan. DoCoMo's immediate rival in the domestic market, KDDI, had initiated a price competition in November 2003 by offering lower priced 3G services, which had enabled KDDI to add more subscribers than DoCoMo. To increase its subscriber base, DoCoMo slashed its tariff and also initiated its efforts to come out with innovative technologies for which it had been well-known in the Japanese telecom industry.
