◆ Q & A

Nikkei personal computer Kaneko:
First of all, for Wi - Fi, it is said that 90,000 stations will be built by the company, but there are no other places like this in other companies. It is meant to achieve that in a year, but please teach concrete measures. In addition, although HTC EVO was issued as WiMAX equipped smartphone at the previous announcement, what was the reason why we were forced to send WiMAX to domestic manufacturers announced this time? Finally, when will the WiMAX come in with the glassmaker when will it be around?

Tanaka:
First of all, I will answer the question about how to make the first Wi-Fi in the short term. The remaining 10,000 stations will be roaming. We will use WiMAX for backhaul to make it in the short term. Since construction on the wired side becomes unnecessary, it will become possible to make it at once. I would like to make it Wi-Fi, including those that are moving, if possible.

Why does not WiMAX smartphone come out, please wait till autumn. Please look forward to. Is it a bit overpowering (lol)

Free Kamio:
It is said that automatic switching of Wi-Fi and 3G will be done, but will WiMAX built-in models come out and will be able to switch over with 3 media? In addition, there is an alliance with Facebook this time, I think that there is account information which Facebook has in the future, an ID for content charge, and furthermore, contractor information confirmed by himself, Are you thinking about collaboration? Especially I think that it will be very strong if contract information and Facebook are linked with each other.

Masuda:
First of all, first of all, Wi-Fi and 3G are comfortably used. WiMAX is under consideration, but on this occasion with 3G and Wi-Fi. Technical name We want to pursue the possibility.

Tanaka:
I am planning to realize cooperation with Facebook. I would like to cooperate with au one ID, and of course customer information will be linked under the customer's consent. I'm sorry about this for today.

Nikkei Newspaper:
First, domestic manufacturers are mainstream for the procurement policy of the terminal, but at what rate will you introduce global terminals? Also, do you install glass maker functions such as emergency earthquake prompts on global terminals? Secondly, if you can estimate the investment amount of public wireless LAN in approximate amount. The third point is that in collaboration with Facebook, if you only use the API, you can do the same with DoCoMo etc, but please tell me about the special efforts unique to au.

Masuda:
In this time, we had all the terminals with strong impact from domestic manufacturers, expanded the base of the smartphone, we expanded not only full-touch full-touch but also keyboard mounted items. There are voices that touch is hard to use when inputting and outputting, so it is a form that has all the numeric keypad models and so on.

I will focus on how to spread smartphones in the whole market share, and in the first half of the current fiscal year. The lineup to meet various needs is this summer model. We are keenly considering introducing global manufacturer terminals as we pointed out, HTC's EVO has already been released, but I would like to expect future developments including this.

Regarding the function of glassmakers, we will talk with global manufacturers, but the recent earthquake disaster situation in Japan is a big topic on a global basis and we will actively engage in functions for safety and security such as emergency earthquake bulletins etc. We are discussing so that we can cooperate with the manufacturer.

Tanaka:
This fall (global phones) will come out. Please forgive the percentage.

About the investment of the second public wireless LAN, I do not remember the exact amount but it is about tens of billions of yen.

Amemiya:
As for the collaboration with Facebook, we will work in cooperation with the jive, linked with the iida terminal, and a widget so that you can understand the remarks, as was also in the announcement. In addition to this, we will also provide a Facebook environment for Facebook users by using a Facebook preset, a link from au one, and a simple guide to summer terminals. We also set up a page on Facebook for au's services and encourage Facebook users to see it. I will do various things earlier than other carriers through partnership.

Free Hayashi:
The iida terminal was designed for people with design consciousness, so there were many developments such as quantity limitation, but this time "INFOBAR A 01" was impressed like the main. Will this model be treated as the main terminal? Secondly, "INFOBAR A 01" has UI designed by Mr. Yugo Nakamura, but does this UI work as a dedicated UI or is it planned to be installed on other terminals as well? Finally, are there plans to expand the Japanese manufacturer's terminals announced this time around the world?

Masuda:
There was also handling in the form of limitation with respect to iida, but this time I have not thought about such things. I expect a lot for "INFOBAR A01", so if you think as a main product of the summer.

I think that Yuuga Nakamura's UI has been completed in a very wonderful way. In this regard, it is assumed that it will be installed in iida first, and future developments are undecided.

Although we are providing terminals to overseas carriers, we always think that we would like to have products from Japan originated overseas, so competition with manufacturers and business people is necessary but I would like to proactively do it.

NHK:
Please tell us about the impact of the earthquake disaster. There are places where semiconductor manufacturers and others are affected by the disaster and the production is delayed, but have any impact on smartphones for your company? What is the delay in selling?

Tanaka:
I think whether it will be a little late, but since I go out like ordinary from the end of June, I think that it is okay if I do not worry. It does not affect summer models.

Free free Ishino:
When I announced the HTC EVO the previous time I announced extensively with tethered lifting ban, but I hid this time. Is tethering limited to models equipped with WiMAX?

Tanaka:
When it comes to tethering, it is our assumption that the partner to be connected is a PC, thinking that high speed is a premise and make it possible to do with WiMAX line. As a feeling I'd like to capture tethering into a normal platform, but for now I will deploy it centered on WiMAX. I hope you can expect from fall.
