MNO Mobile Music Opportunities: Japan Case Study

In the current report we illustrate why and how mobile music services have been so successful in Japan. We provide case illustrations of best market development practices, exploring the phenomenal success of KDDI in particular. Since taking a lead in the delivery of mobile music services in the Japanese market, KDDI has been punching twice its weight in terms of new connections. We also draw conclusions regarding the steps operators in other countries will need to take to emulate the success achieved in Japan.
