They also bought ARM Holdings last year, makes you realize how big they are.

I also remember a large acquisition not long ago. SB is buying the future.

SoftBank also announced last month they raised $100B for Vision Fund, which is the largest in tech funding history https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/20/softbank-vision-fund-first...

They also bought Sprint in USA, and I am a loyal Sprint customer and praying they start delivering on the potential they could infuse into the USA mobile infrastructure.

I'm a SoftBank subscriber in Japan who regularly travels to the US for business. My Japanese phone just automatically switches to Sprint in America, which is extremely convenient for me.

I ended up switching from Sprint to Ting; same network, but 1/3 the bill (Advertised price was only 40% less, but Sprint tacked on nearly 60% in unadvertised fees).
