Market caps of companies in mobile: global vs local
Google, Apple, Nokia, HTC, Vodafone and are winning the driver's seat of the global internet revolution. DoCoMo, KDDI and SoftBank essentially stay inside Japan for now - limiting their growth prospects and leaving global opportunities to others.
GOOGLE with Android and APPLE with iPhone are reaching for the driver's seat of the global mobile data revolution. Global companies including GOOGLE, Vodafone, Apple and NOKIA grow to US$ 100s Billion valuations, while local companies NTT, DoCoMo, KDDI and SoftBank remain essentially limited to Japan's market for now. Smartphone maker HTC increases impact - including in Japan.

ACCESS CEO Toru Arakawa (Oct. 6, 2006)
Toru Arakawa, CEO and Founder of ACCESS, gave a keynote speech at this years CEATEC show in Makuhari on October 6, 2006, outlining ACCESS strategies.
ACCESS is the maker of NetFront browsers and other software at the core of DoCoMo's i-mode. ACCESS acquired PalmSource and is developing the Access Linux Platform (ALP) based on the PalmSource acquisition.
With ALP, ACCESS is planning to deliver a full software stack for mobile phones based on Linux. In his speach Toru Arakawa outlined company strategy also beyond mobile phones to multimedia home centers.
Looks to me like ACCESS is shaping itself to compete with APPLE and Microsoft both in the mobile phone and the home entertainment markets.
