NTT DOCOMO’s LTE Subscribers Top 10 Million

NTT DOCOMO says subscribers to "Xi" (pronounced “crossy”), the company’s Long Term Evolution mobile service, surpassed ten million subscribers on February 18, 2012. 

Subscribers reached one million in December 2011 and then topped five million in August 2012. 

DOCOMO also is boosting speeds, adding a 112.5 Mbps downlink, available in 22 cities by March 2013 and more than 50 cities by June 2013. 

LTE base stations offering a 75 Mbps downlink, double the current speed in many locations, will amount to 4,000 by March 2013 and then jump to 10,000 by June 2013. 

DOCOMO also plans to introduce a 150 Mbps downlink service before March 2014.
