Now it is official: mobile carrier E-Plus will shut down the German version of the Japanese DoCoMo service by April 1st 2008. i-mode was introduced in June 2005 and has never been successful due to limited CHTML support on German handsets. Interestingly, the provider justifies the stop by reasoning that such a wide range of content doesn’t fit to their strategy anymore. Instead, they want to concentrate on their basic WAP portal and surf&rail flat rate.
