*Speaker: *Dr. Sachio Semmoto*Time/location:* Tuesday April 21, 4:30pm in EEB 248*Abstract:* Dr. Semmoto is an exceptional serial entrepreneur in Japan. He founded several telecom companies, and two of them went public. In 2005, he founded new mobile carrier, EMOBILE Ltd. EMOBILE secured about 3.3 billion US$ for equity and debt, focused on mobile broadband data service, introduced new business model that bundles its HSPA data service and UMPC, and gained more than 1.4 million subscribers in two years.In this seminar, Dr. Semmoto will introduce recent new mobile broadband business trend and entrepreneurial opportunity. It may be beneficial not only from industrial trend point of view but also from entrepreneurial point of view for the next generation.*Biography: *Dr. Sachio Semmoto founded eAccess Ltd in 1999. eAccess is Japan's first true entrepreneurial and global IP/telecom company that provides high-speed broadband telecommunication services using xDSL technology. After 5 years of operation, eAccess grew to a leading broadband IP operator in Japan. Additionally he founded EMOBILE Ltd. which was awarded a 3G spectrum license in 2005 and entered into the mobile broadband market in 2007. EMOBILE completed its financing, total US$3.5 billion, which includes $1.2 billion for equity and $2.3 billion for debt financing, to roll out the nationwide mobile network. EMOBILE launched its data service in March 2007 and voice service in March 2008. Bundled with UMPC, EMOBILE's high speed, flat rate and reasonable pricing mobile data communications service has dramatically changed the existing mobile scene, creating a "broadband revolution" in the mobile industry. Prior to eAccess, Dr. Sachio Semmoto spent 30 years in senior management positions including Nippon Telephone & Telegraph (NTT), Kyocera, and DDI Corporation (DDI), which he co-founded as an Executive Vice President in 1984.Although he spent most of his career in the telecommunication industry, he has also had a long history of academic involvement through extensive lecturing engagements at the world's leading universities, including Harvard, Stanford, Northwestern, Cambridge in the U.S. and the UK. He was a visiting professor at Carnegie Mellon University and at the Haas School of Business at University of California Berkeley in 1992-1993 and 2000 respectively, and was a Visiting Research Fellow at Stanford University in 1997. In 1996, Dr. Semmoto became a professor at the Graduate School of Business Administration, Keio University to teach in the areas of entrepreneurial management and information technology.
