Japan’s Mobile Phone Companies declaring War!
It was inevitable I suppose. The bustling cellphone market in Japan has over 94 million subscribers and as an industry is worth well over several billion dollars a year. In recent months, its been getting harder and harder to survive and now, the lionsĀ of the industry are going for each other.
Masao Nakamura, CEO of NTT DoCoMo, Japan’s biggest mobile company is saying publicly that he is “very frustrated and mad and upset” at the tactics of rival company Softbank.
Nakamura accused Masayoshi Son, Softbanks CEO of manipulation and misleading the public with “unfair advertising”. Nakamura has asked that legal options be taken and has promised that his company will “do what is nessessary” to remain at number one. -Spooky!
NTT DoCoMo operating profit fell by 7.4 percent last month which is being blamed on low revenue from handset purchases.
Haha, it’s great to see NTT get their “Microsoft Moment.” Couldn’t happen to a nicer, more manipulative company.
