CTOnews.com June 21 news, according to Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported that Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs expert group said yesterday that it will completely ban the sale of contract mobile phones in a single terminal for substantial discounts, at the same time will carry out technical transformation of communication lines and terminals, limit users in the short term frequent switching operators behavior.

Pexels 'excessive discounts on smartphones are believed to be the reason for Japan's continued high communication costs. In order to avoid malicious price wars between operators, the Japanese government set the upper limit of the call discount in the communication package at 22000 yen in 2019 (CTOnews.com note: currently about 1118 yuan). However, in addition to fixed discounts, operators often choose to set the terminal price of the contract machine at 1 yen to attract consumers to buy, which makes the relevant regulations have become a dead letter.

In response to this phenomenon, the new rules raise the maximum discount limit to 44000 yen (currently about 2235 yuan), but at the same time prohibit any concessions to the phone itself.

At the same time, some users are using a short period of time to carry the number of times to transfer the network to enjoy terminal discounts, cash back and other concessions in violation of regulations, this move is also considered to violate the principle of fairness, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs will coordinate the technical transformation, limit this short-term frequent switching operators behavior.
