NTT DoCoMo said Thursday that software glitches were behind its decision to limit its initial offering of a superfast new cell phone technology. On Tuesday, NTT DoCoMo said it will limit its rollout of the service to 4,000 people in the Tokyo area and wait on full-fledged commercial service until October. At that time, a spokesman denied that technological problems were behind the delay, but he apparently meant equipment hardware.
