RE: 20 Corporations in Asia

Here is my list of the 20 (or so) largest corporations in the telecommunications, mass media, etc. fields. In compiling the list, I first went to the Value Line, and used their categories as a starting point. Next, I went to Fortune 500, and looked at where corporations were ranked by industry. The Fortune 500 list comes out every April, so that information was from 1996. Finally, I went to the Hoover's Handbook and compared what I had found from the other sources with what was there in order to make the final lists. The corporations are listed in random order.
