Editor's Notes
Hi, Everyone, I am Coco Tsai. Today, I am going to talk about the evolution from telegraph to mobile phone in Japan. The reason I want to study the evolutions of mobile phone in Japan is because I remember in the beginning of the quarter in my another class called “mobile development and integration”, I read a paragraph from “The comScore 2010 Mobile Year in Review”, it mentioned that
Japan, perhaps one of the most mature and sophisticated mobile market in the world with mobile audience accustomed to using mobile media regularly. According to the comScore report that Japan’s mobile audience reached nearly 100 million mobile users in December 2010, with more than 75 percent of those subscribers using connected media and far surpassing the US and European countries. So I am curious about why Japan become such country and decided to study the reasons.
