Japan Telecom, a low-priced smartphone company, announced that it has agreed with NTT DoCoMo, which rents a calling line, to reduce the renting fee.
DoCoMo will also review the charges for lending to other cheap smartphone companies in the future.
Japan Communication Inc., a low-priced smartphone company, is developing its business by renting a call line from NTT DoCoMo, but according to the announcement, as a result of discussions with DoCoMo about the fee for renting the line, it was agreed to reduce it on the 1st. ..
In June last year, the then Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications issued a ruling requesting DoCoMo to lower the price, and the two companies were in discussions.
It is not clear how much it was lowered.
Cheap smartphone companies pay a fee to three major mobile phone companies to rent call lines and operate their businesses, but the business environment is harsh because all the major mobile phone companies have decided to reduce prices.
NTT DoCoMo is planning to review the charge for renting out call lines at this time, but it seems that how much it can be reduced will affect the management and service content of cheap smartphone companies.
