TOKYO, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Japanese telecoms operator KDDI Corp.'s main mobile unit gained more new users on a net basis for the third straight month in September than dominant NTT DoCoMo Inc. , an industry group said on Friday.
DoCoMo, however, maintained a lead in adding new third-generation (3G) users.
Vodafone K.K., the No.3 Japanese mobile operator owned by Britain's Vodafone Group Plc , posted a small increase in customers for the fourth straight month after five months of losses, according to the Telecommunications Carriers Association, which compiles data reported by the companies.
KDDI's main au mobile unit added 165,100 new customers in September and users of its high-speed 3G service totalled 19.55 million, or 94.4 percent of its customer base.
DoCoMo followed with 124,800 net new customers. It added nearly 900,000 3G users in September, many of whom had switched from its older mobile services. It ended the month with about 34 percent of its customers on 3G.
Vodafone K.K. gained 3,300 new customers and finished the month with almost 15 million subscribers.
Tu-Ka, a former wholly owned KDDI mobile subsidiary absorbed by the parent on Oct. 1, added 1,300 subscribers, snapping a declining streak stretching back to February.
Net customer growth is calculated by subtracting customers who left a service from the absolute number of new subscribers.
The industry had a total 89.1 million subscribers in September, of which 42.7 percent were on 3G services.
Details were as follows:
