What does the man mean – another Pearl Harbor? Pistols at dawn? Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp chief Masashi Kojima confirmed that British Telecommunications Plc had invited it to come into a joint venture with the Deutsche Bundespost Telekom to provide international telecommunications services to and from Japan, Reuters reports from Tokyo, noting that he added that he not made any decision yet: If NTT declines participation, BT and Bundespost will probably try to enter the Japanese market on their own, and we are not prepared to stand by and watch that, he said; separately, NTT said its foreign procurements in the year to March rose 32% to $465m, with 95% of the total coming from American firms.
