MIC is backed and partly owned by NTT DoCoMo, Japan's largest mobile communication operator. Of particular interest to Ledstiernan and its portfolio companies is NTT DoCoMo's experience in next generation mobile networks and i-mode, where more than 20 million subscribers already have access to Internet services via their mobile phones. MIC's first fund has 35 corporate investors including NTT DoCoMo, Sony, NEC, Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Sanyo, Sharp, Sony Music, Sega, and other NTT Group companies. The wireless Internet market emerged in Japan and Europe, and is becoming increasingly global. Our alliance will create a unique opportunity in combining Japan's leadership in mobile Internet services and consumer markets, with leadership in mobile technology development in Sweden and Finland.
