EZWeb and J-Sky - both Japanese competitors - have captured the 'lamb's share' of the wireless market, but continue to struggle against the Internet technology mindset established by DoCoMo.
By rejecting the WAP model, however, and adopting packet-switching eHTML technology, i-mode has presented a successful global model which even the United States and Europe are murmuring about.
