Smartphone carriers told to compete fairly

Japan's Communications Ministry wants to reduce smartphone fees. It plans to require the nation's 3 biggest firms to compete fairly with budget carriers.

The ministry will ban major firms from providing slower data-transmission speeds to other companies.

Budget smartphone carriers use telecommunication lines that belong to the 3 companies.

Some users claim that low-cost providers offer slower transmission speeds.

The 3 big carriers say they are doing business in a fair manner.

The communications minister says it is important to have a level playing field.

Communications Minister Seiko Noda said, "Carriers are using electric waves, which are public assets. So I want them to think of the benefit to users first when it comes to transmission speeds and smartphone bills."

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga has been saying mobile-phone bills could be cut by about 40 percent
