According to this article, Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications today announced that KDDI and Intel will finance radio waves in the 2.5 GHz band for next-generation high-speed communicationWireless broadband project, PHS company'sWILLCOMIt is said that it decided to give it to. Both companies began examination services from February to April 2009, and start commercial services for around 4000 yen a month from summer. The population coverage rate reaches 90% at the end of 2012.

As a reason for KDDI to make a decisionAs I mentioned earlier, A communication standard of Intel's maximum transmission rate of 21 Mbps "Mobile WiMAX"Early on working on the technology development of the system, it was appreciated that Japan's mobile phone company has the sole name in a company from 15 secretaries who operate the" WiMAX Forum ", an international industry organization centered on Intel It is cited as such.

And WILLCOM can utilize the existing PHS communication network for next-generation standards, already realizing transmission speed of 20 Mbps or more "Next Generation PHS"System, and it seems that we have given a business plan because the feasibility of the project plan is high. In addition, PHS is also spreading in China, Thailand and others, and it is said that it agreed with the expectation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, wanting to develop domestic technology.

By the way, because NTT docomo and Softbank Mobile camp which did not get the frame this time applied for a license by WiMAX method, there seems to be an option to borrow the line from the KDDI camp and start the service.
