7-24 Solutions has some strengths which might allow for broader expansion, but I've sold it (high?). I've personally never needed an ATM, so what do I know?, but wireless banking seems limited for a while.

Yamakita, you can check out this url, which teaches Japanese English. It's Tarken's Eigokyoshitsu [EnglishClassroom to yous who can't read Nihongo]. It's now 'live'. He has also made it in i-mode format so students can click away on their cellphones, while zooming along the Yamamote line or from Ofuna. I was impressed by i-mode. I can see i-mode will be a hit. Tarken has [after a day or three, but with only about 80 'hits'] found that i-mode is providing the greatest number of 'hits'. Which is surprising [to me]. I'd have thought fixed puters at home would be the primary surfing place. Though maybe the 'crashed' i-mode site is indicative of wild popularity. i-mode device sales shows huge success. Your puter needs to be Japanese enabled to read this! eigokyoshitsu.com Here's an English version: eigokyoshitsu.com Incidentally, I notice that there is a registered user counter and there are currently 17 registered users [though I think most of those are system test registrations, not real people]. Globalstar could do the same thing on their Web site so shareholders could see the constantly increasing numbers of subscribers and minutes used. I'd be interested in your comments. If you have some Japanese students you know who might be interested, please pass on the url and let me know what they think of it. WWeb is going to be really big time and content will be vital. No wonder QUALCOMM has joined in with Ignition, to give WWeb users something to click on. WirelessKnowledge will fulfill a similar role. Mqurice PS: I think SVNX is a real deal, but I haven't followed it. The share price shows it's a real deal too.
