Domo Arigato NTT Docomo
Jobs and other Cupertino functionaries have apparently been flying to and fro in the hopes of securing a carrier for the iPhone in Japan. It sounds like NTT DoCoMo is their first choice, which is interesting as they don't really support a 2.5G network -- NTT DoCoMo's network is pretty much all 3G, so for the iPhone to work on their network, it would have to be 3G. Also apparently in the running is Japan's #3 carrier SoftBank Mobile, who also lacks a 2.5G network.

DocoMo has already partnered with Apple to utilize their QuickTime Streaming Servers for media delivery. My guess is they will continue the partnership with the iPhone.
DOCOMO is now adding .Mac compatability to their service. iPhone is next.
