One of the reasons behind this was a lack of understanding what kind of "adapted" ecosystem is necessary in other countries to help a service like i-mode to thrive. Actually Google and Apple took many inspirations from DoCoMos i-mode approach. And these inspirations circle around establishing a sustainable "ecosystem" . I think we all agree that without a working ecosystem mobile media will have a very hard time to survive. :D It is more than true that DoCoMo failed with their approach in other markets.

The eco-system of NTT Docomo only worked in this market. Wherever they tried it elsewhere it failed. Japan in itself is a propriatery system :-) I more like the examples of Apple and Google. If you have a slick device, a good data plan, an attractive OS and UI and last but not least an open system for developers to contribute apps it looks like these kind of eco-systems stimulate Mobile Media dramatically.
