“ We have a very competitive market here and our position as the leading provider in the region is hard won ”
— Roderick Boss , CEO , DOCOMO PACIFIC
Whereas NTT DOCOMO is a mobileonly provider , DOCOMO PACIFIC is a quad-play organisation , which provides a singular opportunity for its executives . “ We ’ re tiny when you set us against the whole NTT DOCOMO world , but we have about six or seven executives at a time who come on a rotational basis from Japan to work here with us and learn how our full fixed service and mobile business works ,” says Boss .
Sitting at the intersection of the Pacific , US and Asian markets , DOCOMO PACIFIC has access to a wealth of different cultures , perspectives and skill sets . “ We have a very diverse organisation . We have people from all over Asia , from the local Chamorro population , a big Filipino population as well as distinct Korean and Japanese demographics . So , add to that all the military personnel that come and go and you have a very diverse and dynamic little island ,” says Boss . “ I feel like that diversity is a real strength in our operation . It allows for innovation and a very respectful environment . I think that ’ s something that DOCOMO PACIFIC puts a lot of value in .”
The other major benefit that DOCOMO PACIFIC ’ s secluded market provides is its role as an ideal test bed for leading-edge technologies . Around the world , the advent of 5G adoption is creating a revolution in the telecommunications industry . With implications that range from lightning fast , reliable digital communications , to a cornucopia of IoT and smart infrastructure applications , the next decade of digital communications are set to be defined by the rise of 5G . Early adopters and innovators in this space can expect to reap huge rewards .
