DoCoMo in War with some 1Seg Users
The Giant DoCoMo is in War with some unscrupulous clients. 1Seg the mobile Digital TV, is available in Japan since March, and DoCoMo is facing a horrible problem. A huge number of its 1Seg clients, purchase a 1Seg phone and cancel their subscription 1 or 2 days after their purchase in order to use this phone as a mobile Digital TV only and not as a phone. Unlike its competitors, DoCoMo didn’t lock the 1Seg function. Operators like Vodafone or KDDI, has a system which allow them to shutdown the 1Seg function the same very moment you cancel your subscription. Each time that a client decide to cancel its subscription DoCoMo is roughly loosing 250 EUR per phone, and they sold over 120 000 units so far. Now DoCoMo will soon release a new 1Seg terminal which will block the 1Seg features if you are willing to cancel your subscription.
