This is all wrong.
In Japan they have two distinct internets, which are not compatible with eachother: the regular internet, which we are used to, and the "keitai" (mobile) web.
It's my understanding that the Japanese public mostly cares about the Keitai web, which is packed full of proprietary technologies. The iPhone, following global standards is completely incompatible with the Keitai web, and thus is why people don't want it.
This might be a problem, as a Canadian Political Party already has a similar name, the Canadian Reform Alliance Party. Actually, thats not funny, thats just old. Oh well.
