(keitai-l) Re: I-mode in Europe

Mats,

I did not mean to quote you out of context - my apologies.

I do, however, feel that national rivalries will play a part in the battle.
Look at how the rival browsers are referred to in the media:  

>However, Wap's Japanese counterpart, i-Mode....<  etc

WAP is viewed as European, i-mode as Japanese.

Declan, you are quoting me out of context. My point was that this is not
"Team Japan" against "Team Europe", but a fierce competition between global
players and alliances. Of course no player can be resting if they want to
compete.
