June 30, half a year ago. At the time, Secretary of State Kan noted that there was “scope for a significant reduction” in the positions of the top three Japanese mobile companies. Furthermore, since the Kan administration was inaugurated, he has often mentioned the review of charges. Criticizing au and Softbank, which appeal to sub-brand price cuts, which “doesn’t make sense unless the main brand goes down”, the major Docomo has decided to cut the prices of the main brand.
Since December 9, “disappointing” voices are leaning towards the new au plan. It was originally said that the new plan would be announced on December 9, but since Docomo announced “ahamo” as the main brand earlier, it seems that the conditional discount has extended the disappointment. ..
In June this year, the Ministry of the Interior and Communications conducted a comparative survey on charges for use of mobile phones (smartphones (MNO), smartphones (MVNO), feature phones (MNO)), FTTH and landline phones fixed in six cities like Tokyo (electricity). Survey of internal and external price differences related to communication services.
According to him, when comparing the pricing plans of the operator (main brand) with the highest share of smartphone users (MNO), 2GB and 5GB are the second highest after New York. At 20GB, it is close to New York, but Tokyo is the highest.(Figure 1)。
