Japanese mobile operator captures Taiwanese photo album market

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 18 (Bernama) -- Japan’s leading mobile operator, NTT DOCOMO, INC. has zoomed into Taiwan to provide photo album service in collaboration with one of the latter country’s largest mobile operators, Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. (FET).

NTT DOCOMO, in a statement said the service, known as DOCOMO’s d photo™ provided on an OEM basis was launched as ‘friDay Pai Pai Ben’ on Feb 18.

FET has 7.17 million subscribers and accounts for 27 per cent of the Taiwanese market share, as of last December.

The arrangement will include the involvement of a major Japanese system integrator, ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC) which will develop and manage a dedicated application and necessary systems.

In addition, Asukanet Co., Ltd., a photo album making company, will develop and deliver physical photo albums containing visual content that customers store via their friDay Pai Pai Ben accounts.

In Japan, customers use DOCOMO’s d photo cloud service to save photos and videos, and print photos to make original photo albums for a flat monthly fee of JPY 280, including shipping (excluding tax). (JPY100 = RM3.69)

In future, NTT DOCOMO aims to expand the service in the greater Asian market based on insights gained with the Taiwanese launch.

The company has over 77 million subscriptions and is one of the world's foremost contributors to 3G, 4G and 5G mobile network technologies.

Under a medium-term plan towards 2020 and beyond, NTT DOCOMO is pioneering a leading-edge 5G network to facilitate innovative services that will amaze and inspire customers beyond expectation. More details can be found at www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english
