hi Giovanni,
I would say the right business model for the local market is the only
thing. DoCoMo is very bad at R&D. it's the business that they are
way better than the rest of the world.
well, DoCoMo's overseas strategy is to promote the i-mode technology
and that's the end of everything. DoCoMo's plan is to lead a new
Japanese Union-Fleet composed with the equipment manufacturers and
other companies to attack the world under the flag of a proprietary
technology.
it's too good a plan counting on i-mode could eventually defeat WAP.
they simply don't have the capability.
I think Japanese can still win the world in the WAP/OMA battlefield,
and I expect Nokia keep losing its handset market share to Asian
manufacturers: Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese.
