Via Slashdot:
Reuters is reporting that Vodafone, the largest mobile phone operator in the world, but the smallest in Japan, is (finally!) giving up doing business in Japan. Vodafone have not managed to be successful in the Japanese market for so many reasons… From offering a smaller choice of phones, updating their offer less often than the competition, having phones with less features, and being the slowest to adopt 3G technology. Japanese Vodafone division could be bought by Softbank, the largest ISP in Japan.
