Of the acquisition of Corus Group- "This is the first big step that the Indian industry has taken in the international marketplace and equipped itself as a global player," said Rata Tata, the patriarch and chairman of the Tata Group.

"The entrepreneur, who controlled 72 percent of Nine Dragons as of August 31, has lapped up a 165 percent rally in the company's stock, according to an annual survey compiled by Rupert Hoogewerf, who pioneered a list for Forbes.
Cheung's stellar ascent is rare in a country whose largest corporations are state-owned or run by well-connected male executives."

From 'Mexico's new robber barons'- International Herald Tribune, 27/8/2007 http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/08/27/opinion/edporter.php
" In 1990, the government of President Carlos Salinas de Gortari sold his friend Slim the Mexican national phone company, Telmex, along with a de facto commitment to maintain its monopoly for years. Then it awarded Telmex the only nationwide cell phone license.
When competitors were eventually allowed in, Telmex kept them at bay with some rather creative gambits, like getting a judge to issue an arrest warrant for the top lawyer of a competitor. Today, it still has a 90 percent share of Mexico's landline phone service and controls almost three-quarters of the cellphone market."
