Japanese shareholders vote via phones

At once completely sensible and arbitrary, the sprightly Japanese businessman who is unable to make it to his shareholder meeting (at least of one of the 14 companies now participating) can now vote via his Internet-accessible cellphone. Though not quite as humorous as imagining a swarm of suits texting out BUYBUYBUY! SELLSELLSELL!, it's still nice to know companies like NTT DoCoMo and Sony put their money where their mouths are (pun very much intended) when it comes to this stuff.
