Over the next five years all this will change. While Japan’s progress to date has been impressive, 3G users now account for 85% of the total wireless subscriber base, which means the technology now only has a limited pool of late adopters to migrate. Combine that with a sub-4% annual growth rate across all wireless subscribers, and the market is close to saturation. This is not the case with any other country. None even comes close to the current Japanese 3G take-up rate, thus they have plenty more growth potential.
