Japanese mobile provider Au by Comiket 91 convention this month. The partnership is providing a signal-boosting base station truck to wireless services for Comiket visitors.
An art piece that looks like a giant cell phone will stand next to the truck. The LCD screen will show social-networking-style images that also appear in the anime.
