Until the issue was brought up, I never realized how few firms there were
in the photographic film making/processing business.  Nor did I realize
how dominant Fuji is in Japan and Kodak in the US.  Now I learn that
the two companies combined greatly dominate the world market.  This
industry didn't strike me as one which would have such economies of
scale.  Maybe someone involved in the industry could answer this:  is it
that much more difficult to produce quality film than something like
video tapes?

My point is that although I think Kodak has some valid points against
Fuji's practices in Japan, it seems that their PR campaign may backfire.
They should put more stress on the barriers they face in Japan than on
their share of the market in the world.
