Softbank last to hit 50% milestone with 3G subs in Japan

Having added 560,100 subscribers to its 3G service in April, Softbank finally passed a 50% 3G penetration milestone for its subscriber base. The leader in conversion cell phone users from 2G to 3G camps remains KDDI au, which has managed to get 97.9% of its total subscriber base to be equipped with 3G phones. DoCoMo so far persuaded only 69.1% of its customers to switch to 3G.
