EXACTLY, This ties with Natsuno's book emphasis on a complex business model.
While pure content or technical issues are fine for development, it is good
to try take a look at the whole pizza.
> E-Commerce companies and *others*
would include the DoCoMo-invested: Advertising (D2C) together w/ Dentsu,
Drink Vending and more together w/ CoCa-Cola, Music (later video?)
Downloads, Mapping-Location Systems, and some others I am sure to be
missing.
Not a small business after all.
