Keith,
It needs quite a lot of investment to roll out FeliCa phones
and to make all the infrastructure investments in the
stores to seed the market sufficiently to get onto a
positive feedback growth curve. I am not sure Europe is
used or ready to make these type of investments of that
size? Look at 3G - 3G isn't really rolled out nationwide
in Europe - only in the large cities... What do you think?
