TOKYO -- Japan's major mobile carriers will face scrutiny of their sales practices to encourage healthy market competition, the chief of the Fair Trade Commission told Nikkei, a move that could aid Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's push to bring down service rates.
"We must step in if consumer convenience is being undermined," said Chairman Kazuyuki Furuya, who assumed the post last month. The goal is to ensure consumer interests are not being harmed by high prices resulting from the lack of competition or by low quality services.
