We are focused on investment in the service area.
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%.
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.
We will continue to invest in our mobile phone business.
Perhaps the largest area of investment is international-related investment.
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'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.
