The delay of NTT DoCoMo's 3G phone service, branded FOMA, will have only a limited impact on the company's debt-repaying capability, as the company is expected to maintain its ability to generate brisk earnings and cash flow, it said. But the rating agency said there are worries that the delay may dampen the sentiment of content developers and overseas phone firms also planning to start 3G services. If domestic demand for the new service falls well short of expectations and overseas phone companies start reviewing their 3G projects, it may take NTT DoCoMo longer than expected before enjoying returns on its investment, it said. The rating agency said it needs to keep close tabs on the future course of the 3G phone market in Japan and abroad. All Rights Reserved.
