EzwebEZWeb is the name for the mobile phone-based Internet and data services offered by the AU company in Japan. AU is the mobile arm of the long distance carrier KDDI, one of the top three phone service providers in Japan. EZWeb is similar to services offered by NTT DoCoMo and Vodafone, in that it provides various features for mobile phone users, including e-mail, web browsing, picture and video sharing, video conferencing, and access to location based services and games. The service runs on traditional GPRS mobile phone networks at a data rate of 64kps or on the new CDMA 1X network with up to 2.4 Mbit/s downstream and 144 kbit/s upstream bandwidth. In a surprise move, in spring 2004 AU became the first cellular phone based data service provider to offer a "tsukaihoudai" (unlimited use) flat rate plan in Japan. This is pressuring competing companies to do the same. External links
