I think a lot of the Vodaphone employees have been hoping
Softbank would buy them for a couple of years now.
Any how you look at it, this will be good for consumers.
Vodaphone were not pushing AU or DOCOMO to improve service
or lower prices. I think Softbank will.
And another stupid foreign company gets their ass kicked
in Japan only to sell to Softbank. In fact, every place
that D. Green works ends up being owned by SB in the end.
