Venture capital fund will target digital media and information technology start-ups in China NTT DoCoMo Inc. will invest $10 million later this month in a venture capital fund that targets digital media and information technology start-ups in China, it said Monday.The investment will be made into the Gobi Fund, which is operated by Cayman Islands-based Gobi Fund Inc. with a subsidiary office in Shanghai, NTT DoCoMo said in a statement. The Tokyo-based carrier said it hopes for both a reasonable return and the ability to develop new businesses and technical tie-ups with the Chinese through the investment.NTT DoCoMo does not have a carrier partner in China, although the company has begun to take its first steps in the country. It has recently established a subsidiary company, DoCoMo Communications Laboratories Beijing Co. Ltd., to run a research and development center in Beijing that will focus on so-called 4G (fourth-generation) wireless mobile systems. The company’s original plan was to have the lab set up by the end of 2003 although this has now been changed to before the end of 2004, the company said Monday. Software Development
