Questions and answers made at the venue are as follows.

Mobile Watch Tsuda:
What is the discount policy for charges for the spread of smartphones, such as "IS debut divided (now: IS 01/02)"?

KDDI:
Since IS03 will be released later in November, I would like to announce it accordingly. I would like you to make up for today.

Tsuda:
Why did you take the form of a joint interaction

KDDI:
Since CEATEC will start from tomorrow, even at Sharp's booth, it will be exhibited largely by touch and try. There are also such places, I announced jointly today.

Writer Yamada:
OS is Android OS 2.1, why is not it 2.2? Is there an upgrade?

KDDI:
We are going to upgrade to 2.2. We can not announce that time yet, but I'd like you to understand that there is a plan to upgrade.

NHK Lin:
I was talking about "seriousness of au" several times at a press conference, but please tell me about that feeling again

KDDI:
As you all know, it is often said that au's response to smartphones is delayed. Even today's IS 03, I'm pretty obsessed. I am doing a mobile business for quite a long time and I have been worrying about "what's fit for Japanese customers" for a long time, I think that we could do something quite good with the cooperation of Sharp. The autumn sales battle will start from now, but I will do it with all the resources of the company wanting to let you know. The specific way to do it will be released if you wait a little more, so please feel it there.

Free Free Ishikawa:
A similar model came from other carriers after the last IS01 but how to differentiate it from other carriers

KDDI:
As you pointed out, if you use such a platform called Android, there are cases like IS 01. Among them, we are studying how to give attention as au. I would like to announce it together on the 18th. The conventional feature phone (traditional voice terminal) is an exclusive (exclusive) aircraft, but that is not the time. I think that various companies will work out various measures. "Au Lessiness" is preparing for customers to feel themselves. Please expect it on the 18th.
