Carlyle Group To Buy Part Of KDDI
Carlyle Group To Buy Part Of KDDI
06/22/2004 04:34 AMJapanese mobile carrier KDDI has been trying to sell their DDI Pocket
division for many months (leading to the inevitable joke/question of
whether or not KDDI minus DDI will be simply known as "K"?). DDI
Pocket offers the personal handyphone system, which is popular in
Japan. It's sort of a cheap approximation of a mobile phone system,
but has found new life in supplying wireless data access to Japanese
users. The expected buyer from the beginning of all this talk has
always been Kyocera, who already owned a small piece of DDI pocket.
Despite denials, it looks like Kyocera is buying up DDI pocket, but
they've brought in quite the powerhouse partner - which will actually
make them the smaller player in the deal. The Carlyle Group has
announced that they'll
b
e teaming up with Kyocera to buy DDI Pocket. The Carlyle Group,
of course, is known for hiring up big shot political insiders and
other world leaders (such as Lou Gerstner) so they certainly have a
few connections up their sleeves. They'll now own 60% of the firm and
apparently are looking to
bring
the technology to developing countries that might not have the
infrastructure for a full mobile phone system, but could find the PHS
system useful. KDDI, in the meantime, will focus on their real mobile
phone market in Japan, which was starting to eat into the DDI Pocket
market anyway. It's an interesting look at how a technology that is
becoming obsolete in an advanced society could present huge
opportunities for developing nations instead. As the second link
above shows, this also shows how Japanese firms are increasingly open
to being bought by foreign firms -- something that's been rare in the
past (though, Ripplewood's buyout of J-Phone's landline business in
Japan suggests a trend).

Not-for-profit versus for-profit economy
Not-for-profit versus for-profit economy
01/07/2004 04:28 PMToday's Boston Globe carries two contrasting front-page
stories. "As economy gains, outsourcing surges"
talks about how American workers at for-profit companies must compete
with 84 million Filipinos, many of whom are well-educated, speak good
English, and are delighted to work for $300/month. Things are
looking more cheerful for U.S. workers in the not-for-profit
sector. A front-page story on Boston University's
search for a new president revealed that the school decided to pay Dan
Goldin $1.8 million in exchange for... not working at all.
Considering that Mr. Goldin had yet to start his job, that's a pretty
good hourly rate. You could hire a staff of 45 Filipino
engineers for ten years with that $1.8 mil!
[Update: the Globe runs a three-article series on "the white
collar job migration". Article 2 is "US workers see hard times" and includes a quote
from a venture capitalist: "Right when you think about Employee
11, you should think about India. My view is you should not
start a company from scratch in the United States ever again.''
Article 3 is "US business students find
opportunity is global" and talks about how MBAs are
adapting. A more interesting article appears in the same issue,
November 4, "As work shifts,
internship in India the new rite of passage" and starts with "An
increasing number of US students are going to India to intern at top
information technology services firms or to participate in tours that
allow them to network with the country's corporate elite." The
American interns, most of whom are MBAs or MBA students, get paid
about $350/month (compared to their old internships of $7000/month in
the U.S.).]
