Michael visits

Michael came from San Francisco to talk about the state of the content protection market in the United States. He said, "The United States has become increasingly conservative, and is 18 to 24 months behind Japan in advanced product categories." This can be seen, for example, in mobile phones. One reason for this seems to be the difference in population and corporate concentration. After all, Japan is the second largest economy in the world, but nearly 90% of it can be approached from Tokyo, whereas in the United States, it is scattered across the continent. This seems to result in a lower density of communication.
