TOKYO, JAPAN, November 14, 2006 --- NTT DoCoMo, Inc. announced that it received approval from the U.S. regulatory authority, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), on November 13 (U.S. Eastern Standard Time) for the company s 100% acquisition of Guam Cellular & Paging, Inc. (Guam Cellular) and Guam Wireless Telephone Company, LLC (Guam Wireless). The agreement was concluded on March 20, 2006 in the amount of US$71,800,000.

Under the terms of the agreement, DoCoMo will complete the 100% acquisition of Guam Cellular through its established holding company, after which it will acquire the business of Guam Wireless through Guam Cellular and merge the two companies.
