Japanese content provider For-Side.com enters the US market

Over the last couple of months, we have reported about Indian outsourcers companies that ventured out of their country to acquire outsourcing companies and call centers in the US. Some Japanese, long used to moving overseas with their companies, follow this time in a different segment and in a pretty smart move.

Moconews reports that For-Side.com (http://www.for-side.com), a Japanese content provider active in mobile communications with presence in Korea and other countries, now purchased Vindingo (http://www.vindingostudios.com) and Zingy (http://www.zingy.com), two smaller content providers in New York.

Why do they do this since there is no market for content in the US as of now? Because they are clever. While there is no market, it doesn't mean that there will never be one. And than, the Japanese are there already, with all their expertise gained from their home market and with a presence in the US, that has been relatively cheap. A smart move, so to say!!
