Godzilla-like Japanese telco NTT DoCoMo has reared up from Tokyo bay to offer it’s customers wireless telecoms connectivity for their mobile handsets via their home broadband.

DoCoMo FOMA handsets which have WiFi connectivity will be able to utilise a new service called Home U which allows them to make their normal telephone connections via their home broadband rather than the cellular network. This will allow for free calls between Home U user when they are in their own residence. It will also allow handsets to download large volumes of data such as video at up to 54Mbps – this is a limitation of the WiFi technology, in fiber to the home areas, the actual speed of Japanese broadband is often 100Mbps.
