Sharp eyes Brazilian handset market

ntttttttttttt

Sharp Corp is considering selling cell phone handsets in Brazil as early as next year. It would be the first time for a Japanese maker to sell handsets in South America.

Sharp aims to boost its overseas sales of cell phone handsets 2.5 times to 4 million units in the current fiscal year. As Brazil has terrestrial digital TV broadcasting similar to the Japanese system, Sharp plans to sell handset models capable of receiving TV programs.
