NTT DoCoMo to buy 7% stake in PLDT

Ignoring the fact that i loathe PLDT (and SMART Philippines) , companies that reap Millions of pesos from a business model that is sometimes built on deception, the news that DoCoMo, (one of the most advanced Mobile Communications Network company around) is buying 7% of PLDT makes me somehow hopeful and excited for the local mobile technology scene. 3G is indeed on its way.
PLDT also said it would enter into "a strategic partnership" with Smart Communications and DoCoMo to enable Smart to offer DoCoMo's i-mode service to Smart's subscribers, among other things.
See, i'm hopeful enough to even believe that that "strategic partnership" means something. sigh.

Btw, i really enjoyed reading Aissa's convergence post. :)
