DOCOMO's Xi LTE Service Subscribers Hit 2 Million-mark
Tokyo, Mar 23, 2012 (JCN) - NTT DOCOMO INC. has announced that subscribers to Xi extra-high-speed LTE mobile service offering a maximum downlink of 75Mbps surpassed 2 million on March 18.
Xi launched on December 24, 2010 and reached one million subscribers one year later on December 25, 2011. Since then, subscriptions have doubled to 2 million in just three months, propelled by the introduction of the first Xi-compatible smartphones in November 2011.
Going forward, DOCOMO expects subscribers to grow as the company continues to introduce additional Xi-compatible smartphones, tablets and data-communication devices and mobile Wi-Fi routers, as well as beneficial services, such as Xi Talk 24, which enables free, unlimited voice calls between DOCOMO users of Xi-compatible smartphones.
