日本电报电话公司（NTT）于1952年由日本通信省成立，旨在重建日本饱受战争蹂躏的电话系统。NTT是以美国老“马贝尔”的形象创建的，它努力重建日本的电话基础设施。它在电话服务方面享有40多年的垄断地位。虽然NTT的先驱移动的通信经验起源于1959年的海上电话服务，但日本的第一个原始海上移动的系统是在1923年推出的。这些最早的陆地移动的无线电通信是从最初为该国广泛的渔船和港口交通开发的系统演变而来的。今天，NTT DoCoMo是服务创新的代名词。NTT的前身是NTT移动的通信网络，NTT的无线分拆拥有超过4100万用户的数字网络。作为全球第二大移动的电话运营商，DoCoMo拥有约3200万客户，他们订阅了i‐mode服务，该服务提供从移动的电话访问互联网的服务。该公司还提供寻呼，海事和飞行电话服务，并销售手机和寻呼机。正如它的名字，DoCoMo在日本“无处不在”，占据了日本移动的手机市场近60%的份额。
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) was launched in 1952 by Japan’s Ministry of Communications to rebuild Japan’s war‐ravaged phone system. Created in the image of the old American “Ma Bell,” NTT struggled to rebuild Japan’s telephone infrastructure. It enjoyed a monopoly on phone services for more than four decades. While NTT’s pioneering mobile communications experiences originate from a maritime phone service in 1959, Japan’s first primitive marine mobile system was introduced in 1923. These earliest land mobile radio communications evolved out of systems that were originally developed for the country’s extensive fishing fleet and harbor traffic.Today NTT DoCoMo is synonymous with service innovation. Formerly NTT Mobile Communications Network, NTT’s wireless spinoff has more than 41 million subscribers to its digital network. As the second largest mobile phone operator worldwide, DoCoMo has some 32 million customers, who subscribe to the i‐mode service, which provides Internet access from mobile phones. The company also offers paging, maritime and in‐flight phone services, and sells handsets and pagers. True to its name, DoCoMo is “everywhere” in Japan, dominating nearly 60 percent of the Japanese market for mobile phones.
