7
NTT DoCoMo, Japan’s top mobile operator, aims to offer third-generation (3G) handsets that run on the Linux-based operating system
as early as the second half of 2004, according to a source close to the firm.

Linux software is free and can be copied or modified, unlike rival Microsoft’s software, and has become popular among companies looking to lower the
cost of using computer systems.
