To defend your country militarily from your neighboring country, you form an alliance with a country bordering your neighbor but not bordering your country thus creating a checkerboard pattern of alliances. NTT is so strong that it is a threat to an independant telecom industry in China and in Korea. Thus these two must form the natural alliance with the US to balance NTT's strength. If you are weak and form an alliance with the strong then the strong will come to ignore you much as Hitler came to ignore the Italians in WWII. If you are weak and form an alliance with a distant not so strong party like QCOM, then your strengths complement each other and together, you become stronger. Isn't this all just basic strategy. Can't anyone see this. JohnG
