I was trying to determine what percentage of yahoo japan was owned by yahoo corp and came across this last week. It appears that Softbank is selling its assets to obtain capital for a broadband service - Yahoo BB in Japan, which looks very interesting. My question would be, is Yahoo BB in any way affiliated with Yahoo corp? Also is this a co-branded service with Yahoo Japan, similar to the Yahoo SBC deal, because if so there should be some revenue streams to Yahoo japan once completed. I can't figure out how to get this data, especially any ownership Yahoo corp has in Yahoo BB. You would think the name means some form of ownership.

Son claims his network trunk lines have speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second, and will soon be faster than even NTT's massive fiber network. To boost revenue, Son is adding new paid services at a furious rate. An additional $200 set-top box provides hundreds of channels of DVD-quality TV. Starting in March, Yahoo BB will be the first network in Japan to offer full video-on-demand of Hollywood movies available for rent over the modem. His network will be one of the first in the world to offer hundreds of pictures at once. "We will become a whole new information medium," he says.
