Ken Worsley over at Japan Economy News and Blog posted the latest move in Japan’s cell phone industry.

“Softbank has announced that starting next Tuesday, it will waive its 980 monthly fee for five months for all customers who switch from another carrier and sign up for the company’s popular White Plan. Until July, Softbank had led all carriers in new subscriptions for 26 consecutive months, though NTT DoCoMo moved in front last month. This move looks designed to put Softbank back on top of that list.”
