NTT DoCoMo today announced a joint venture with Fujitsu, NEC, Panasonic, and Samsung to "develop and sell semiconductor products for mobile devices."

The companies are still working out details, and expect the venture to commence operations at the end of March 2012. To get the ball rolling early, DoCoMo plans to establish a subsidiary called Communication Platform Planning Co. by mid-January, which will then become part of the joint venture.
