Next year is going to be the peak year in many different ways. We're seeing a steep increase in 3G users now, so we have to keep the momentum going next year. |
Perhaps the largest area of investment is international-related investment. |
We are focused on investment in the service area. |
We try to enter into Asian markets for the expansion of the I-mode service, and thereby try to reduce our cost by increasing the volume of procurement with local partners. |
We will be investing into PLDT. The Philippines is one of the major hubs in Asia with a large population base and PLDT is shifting from fixed line to mobile. As NTT Communications is involved, we will not have to pay a premium and have a very firm stake of 7%. |
We will continue to invest in our mobile phone business. |
We're not going to be all that slow. It's not going to be a drawn out process, hopefully. We hope to be able to do something starting from next month. |
