Could Japan’s NTT DoCoMo be headed stateside?

This news spread a bit over the weekend: NTT DoCoMo, the large Japanese carrier, might be considering a US MVNO. According to the linked TeleGeography story, the carrier has ties to AT&T and T-Mobile, both of which use GSM networks. It does have some plans for next-gen service, which would point towards AT&T, or even Verizon, which should have their LTE network up and running in a number of markets in the second quarter of next year. T-Mobile would be an interesting option. There are no major MVNOs on its network, and with its lagging behind the top three carriers, an MVNO like DoCoMo could provide a boost.
