Tweet from twitter@iPhoneMania_jp iPhone Mania May 26, 2021 00:31 Until reading is about 3 minutes 17 seconds On May 25, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications announced the results of an international comparative survey of communication charges for smartphones and other devices. Compared to last year, you can see that domestic smartphone charges have fallen.The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications published a survey on domestic and foreign price differences in telecommunications services that compares mobile phone, FTTH, and landline phone charges in six cities: Tokyo, New York, London, Paris, Dusseldorf, and Seoul. It's a summary. Similar survey results have been published in the past, and iPhone Mania has introduced them in 2014, 2018, and 2020. Smartphone charges, which are the center of the survey, are compared with the top share operators for MNOs (4G and 5G), the cheapest operators among the top 3 to 4 share operators, and the top share operators for MVNOs. Data communication volume 2GB, 5GB, 20GB, unlimited and domestic average usage model (monthly call time 61 minutes) are compared using OECD purchasing power parity.
NTT Docomo (including ahamo) is used in Japan to compare the rates of smartphones (4G) with the top market share. Tokyo rates are the third cheapest of the six cities for 2GB, 5GB, and unlimited, and the second cheapest for 20GB. In terms of changes since FY2014, for each capacity, the charges for Tokyo (red) dropped slightly in FY2019, and then dropped significantly in FY2020.
The cheapest rates of the top 3-4 MNO (4G) market share operators in Japan are NTT DoCoMo (including ahamo), KDDI (including UQ mobile and povo), Softbank (including Y!mobile and LINEMO), and Rakuten. The cheapest of the four mobile operators' rates is used. In the Tokyo graph, the red bar shows the lowest price as of March 2021, and the pink bar shows the lowest price as of April 1, showing that the price is lower in April than in March. As of April 1st, Tokyo's rates are the fourth lowest for 2GB and 5GB, and the third lowest for 20GB and unlimited (March). Looking at the transition from FY2016 using purchasing power parity, it is noticeable that the price in Tokyo has dropped significantly in FY2020 at 20GB.
The rates of the top market share operators in each city are used to compare MVNO rates. In Japan, IIJ (Internet Initiative Japan) is applicable. The red bar in Tokyo indicates the price as of March 2021, and the pink bar indicates the price as of April 1. Comparing as of March (red), Tokyo charges for 2GB, 5GB, and 20GB are the second highest among the 6 cities, but on April 1 (pink), 2GB and 5GB are about 1,000 yen, and 20GB is about 3,000 yen. and is significantly cheaper. Looking at the changes in MVNO fees since fiscal 2016, Tokyo (as of March) is almost flat.
Among MNO (5G) top share operators, Tokyo is the second cheapest in the world for 2GB, 5GB, and 20GB, and the fourth cheapest for unlimited. As of April 1st, the cheapest rate for top MNO market share operators is the third cheapest for 2GB and 5GB, and the second cheapest for unlimited with 20GB when comparing Tokyo rates. Especially for 2GB, it is noticeable that the price as of April 1 (pink) has decreased from March (red).
In March 2021, the new price plans (ahamo, povo, LINEMO) launched by the three major carriers and the movements of MVNO operators to compete with them have led to a decline in smartphone prices in Japan. I understand. In 2018, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who was the Chief Cabinet Secretary at the time, said, ``Japan's mobile phone charges are too high, and there is room to reduce them by 40%.'' I understand that it has become cheaper. In the future, it is likely that attention will be focused on how widely the new rate plan will spread. According to the results of a survey released by the MMD Research Institute the other day, NTT Docomo's ahamo had the highest number of new and transfer contracts in the 2021 spring sales season.
