Fortune, April 17th., 2000 Edition Excerpt from last paragraph of page 208 ...When placed in a global perspective, Microsoft's broadband forays in Asia dovetail with its efforts elsewhere. To blunt the threat from Palm, for instance, Microsoft has struck up an alliance with London-based Psion, Palm's biggest competitor, and Stockholm-based Ericsson, one of the worlds biggest mobile phone makers. Throw in the Mobimagic joint venture with NTT DoCoMo, and Microsoft has a global strategy to develop a full-scale operating system for the next generation of Web phones. On the Web television front; its joint ventures in Taiwan and China will give Microsoft an edge in the contest for cheap and appealing set-top boxes. That may be all Microsoft wants, or needs. In the headlong race toward broadband, every inch counts. By moving out so early in Asia, Microsoft may well have won itself a head start. [NTT DeCoMo is the second largest capitalized company in Japan. The first is NTT which owns a majority stake in the company.]
