KYODO
Tokyo subways will start offering the high-speed WiMax wireless service around next March, allowing commuters to exchange text messages and surf the Interenet in moving trains.
The two subway operators in the metropolitan area - the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the private Tokyo Metro Co.—said they will cooperate with the broadband service firm UQ Communications Inc., to install the equipment throughout their entire subway networks.
UQ Communications will foot the bill for installing the WiMAX system, formally known as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. Currently, cellphone networks are accessible only in the stations.
