Abstract

This article presents an overview of the current state of PHS in Japan, focusing on differences between PHS and conventional mobile phones. The survey, conducted in December 1995, revealed that PHS users are younger, richer and more educated than conventional mobile phone users. Private use is more common than business use with PHS. PHS users show a great interest in advanced technologies, such as high-speed data transmission. The results suggest that PHS and conventional mobile phones may coexist in the future, targeting different types of customers.
