i-mode

<p><a href="/facts/NTT_DoCoMo/vW4uaTaj">NTT DoCoMo</a>'s i-mode  is a <a href="/facts/Mobile_internet/lU0s3MU5">mobile internet</a> (distinct from <a href="/facts/Wireless_internet/GfDoFwfo">wireless internet</a>) service popular in <a href="/facts/Japan/U5mz0SRT">Japan</a>. Unlike <a href="/facts/Wireless_Application_Protocol/UxhCWfnv">Wireless Application Protocols</a>, i-mode encompasses a wider variety of internet standards, including web access, <a href="/facts/E-mail/6pD9GLtI">e-mail</a>, and the <a href="/facts/Packet-switched_network/olDlDP1R">packet-switched network</a> that delivers the data. i-mode users also have access to other various services such as: sports results, <a href="/facts/Weather_forecast/nzqyMFCa">weather forecasts</a>, <a href="/facts/Mobile_game/H3e7p0K7">games</a>, financial services, and ticket booking. Content is provided by specialised services, typically from the <a href="/facts/Mobile_carrier/6Tt5J4TF">mobile carrier</a>, which allows them to have tighter control over billing.
</p><p>Like WAP, i-mode delivers only those services that are specifically converted for the service, or are converted through gateways.
