This holds just as true for the mobile phone. No tourist visiting Japan can miss the dazzling array of mobile handsets and accessories on display all over Tokyo, and notably in the “electric towns” of “Shibuya” and “Akihabara”. (...) Another important trend in Japan is the use of mobile phones as a fashion accessory. Users have access to a wide variety of colourful tags and stickers that can be used to personalize mobile phones, in line with the latest trend and fashion of the day. (...) There is a general misconception that Japanese people use their mobile phone mostly while commuting. In fact, a large majority (46.2 per cent) of Japanese use their mobile phone at home to make calls (Figure 5.2, left chart).

  Electromagnetic fields and mobile technology

Since 2008, the Department of Telecommunication, has been monitoring international advances and has already taken essential steps to adopt stringent norms for protection from EMF radiation emitted from mobile towers and mobile handsets.  Mobile phones are now an integral part of modern telecommunications.

  Millions of poor people will have mobile phone numbers under UN-backed scheme | | 1UN News

Instead of sharing a phone number with family members or neighbours, those provided with a Movirtu cloud phone number will be able to use any mobile phone to log in with their own unique number to make and receive individual calls and access critical information and services such as banking or agriculture support. (...) “By providing low-income communities with access to secure mobile accounts and identities, Movirtu is helping to bridge the divide between those that have easy access to mobile phones and those that rely on community phones or paying a borrower’s premium to friends to meet their communication needs,” she added. (...) “It is a basic fact not everyone in the world can afford their own mobile phone,” said Ramona Liberoff, Executive Vice President of Marketing, Strategy and Planning at Movirtu.

More than 60 million Americans use the digital standards known as D-AMPS/TDMA (Digital Advanced Mobile Phone System or Time Division Multiple Access), CDMA or analog phones. (...) Strowbridge considers it may still be at least three years before TDMA and CDMA capability reside in the same handset, coinciding with the appearance of the first third-generation networks, but these will not have national coverage for a long time, giving dual-mode phones a window of several years. Another solution to the mobile incompatibility network and patchy coverage is mobile phones that use satellite communications. (...) Through our partnership with QualComm, we are working on a tri-band phone that can use CDMA, D-AMPS and satellite and, in the longer term, around 2005 we think, our second-generation satellite technology will converge with third-generation mobile.''
