Main Points:
- The government plans to impose new regulations on mobile phone operators to cut cancellation fees by 90 percent to 1,000 yen or less to make it easier for users to switch companies and spur competition, officials said Tuesday.
- Cancellation charges had been left unchanged at 9,500 yen for users who quit in the middle of a two-year contract. On Tuesday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications presented to a panel a draft ordinance revision that would set a cap on cancellation charges at 1,000 yen.
- The ministry also proposed a plan to limit discounts on handsets to a maximum 20,000 yen.
- The three major mobile phone operators — NTT Docomo Inc, SoftBank Corp and KDDI Corp — have recently been targeted by the government over what are deemed relatively high mobile phone charges compared with other countries.
