ICSC, The Internet Store - A Success Story

By: Marie Conway

Date Posted: 1998-11-27

Opening a business from the ground up is always difficult, but it's even more difficult to open a store in a foreign country, such as Japan. Dr. Bill Fanska, President of ICSC, started consulting for companies out of his home. Unfortunately, through a bad business deal, he lost everything. But, he picked himself up and with only ¥40,000 he registered and started a successful enterprise in Okinawa. Now, ICSC has become a million dollar company in less than a year! Though it is a Japanese private company he plans to go public next year. Fanska said he also hopes to help the Japanese economy, by making a successful company through good relations and helping the GNP.

ICSC is one of the few multi-media centers on Okinawa. ICSC offers a cyber café, Internet service with unlimited access, business servers, web services, fax and copy services. In the near future, ICSC will offer voice communications over the Internet, distribution of parts for wholesale from Korea, and computer sales over the Internet. They also manufacture computer parts so if there's something faulty with your computer, give them a call. Mitch Culbertson, Fanska's business partner, said the rule the company lives by is providing the customer with "quality, integrity, and great service."

ICSC staff can converse in both English and Japanese, so please feel free to call if you have any questions, at 098-939-6693. Also you can check their web site at icsc@icscjp.or.jp. Their hours of operation are from 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday -Friday and 1 p.m.-9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Directions: From gate 2, it's about 50 m. outside passed China Pete's on the left.
