Jupiter Telecommunications Co., Ltd.
 PROFILE
Other Japanese cable TV operators are mere asteroids compared to Jupiter Telecommunications (J-COM). The island nation's #1 cable system operator has grown even larger with its purchase of #2 cable operator Titus Communications, a subsidiary of US software giant Microsoft. J-COM sells cable TV services to more than 900,000 subscribers through its 20 managed franchises. It also has about 88,000 telephony customers and 183,000 broadband Internet access customers. The company was founded in 1995 as a joint venture between Japan's Sumitomo and cable provider Tele-Communications International (now Liberty Media, a unit of AT&T). Sumitomo (41%), Liberty Media (35%), and Microsoft (24%) are J-COM's shareholders.
