KDDI cuts rates and fees, keeps deflating Japanese economy

Just as we, and the Japanese Ministry of International Affairs and Communications, expected, KDDI has cut their rates and fees in the ever-continuing battle to win over wireless subscribers. The wireless carrier will no longer be subsidizing handsets with new-activations, offering lower calling plan prices.
KDDI customers can expect to pay 1,050 yen ($9) and 15.75 yen for 30 seconds of talk time, compared to the firm’s current lowest fee of 1,800 yen a month and 20 yen per 30 seconds of talk time.
It looks like wireless customers that stick with one phone for long periods of time will be the ones to benefit from this change of rates. Those customers that like to change their handsets frequently will find that they’ll have to shell out more than ever before for that brand-new handset.
