<WOW! and Hallelujah! What a high-standing mission, and how grateful will not the people be?.> Joar, it's always the most challenging misssions which make the big money. Q! and a group entering the Japanese market would be challenging. Nokia, a rinky-dink Finnish lumberjack outfit managed to enter the USA and do pretty well in a new industry. Also they got into a few other markets too. The world's population flocked to Nokian handsets [they like Japanese products and Nokia was another good one]. The rest is history. So I dare say that a huge company like Mighty Q!, backed by Hitachi and a bevy of other companies and the might of the USA and the trade heft they have will manage to succeed in Japan. If they don't, it will not be for want of capital or 'size', which sometimes matters. The test of gratefulness is what the Japanese buyers decide to do. If they like the Q! system, they'll buy. If they don't, Q! and co will lick their wounds, retrench and look for an easier life. Before you decide, talk to a few NTT customers - they like their money... I know expansionism is politically incorrect these days, but it is still a fact of life. Why, this very Web on which I type has taken over the world and it is indeed the core of The New Paradigm. It is wildly successful. You should abandon naive ideological positions. They can cost you money. Nokia right now is sweating their position on 3G. Maurice
