Japan's Power Players MATSUSHITA COMMUNICATION INDUSTRIAL (MCI) The star of Matsushita Electric Group aims to boost its share of the global wireless phone market to 15% in 2000 from 9% now. NEC A strong player in Japan, with 40% of the network-equipment market, NEC has little share abroad. It hopes to change that through a joint venture it has formed with Germany's Siemens. FUJITSU In Japan, Fujitsu sells 13% of wireless phones and 16% of wireless gear. But it has no presence in wireless products overseas. To tap international markets, the company plans to offer cellular operators services such as systems integration. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |
