Internet firms build empires across Japan
Miki Tanikawa writes in the International Herald Tribune:
Among Japanese e-commerce companies, Livedoor has received all the attention lately, with its rarer-than-rare hostile takeover bid for a local TV company last month.
But in reality, Livedoor is a minor player, overshadowed by the Internet conglomerates led by Yahoo and Softbank on one hand and Rakuten on the other. All three are trying to create e-commerce empires, expanding into financial services, travel agencies and even baseball.
