Nik, no offending here. you should know I'm a fan of Vodafone, ... and au/KDDI, in smart technologies and services, and I wish you all success. I know you have a great team, but the prices you paid have been too high. regarding buying J-Phone back, I take it more "nationalism" than "realism". it's a problem. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
