Japan to ban prepaid mobile phones - a story continues

We weren't quite sure if it it really true when we reported last month that the Japanese government is considering to outlaw prepaid mobile phones based on the argument that too many crimes are being committed.

It appears to be true.

The European Business Community in Japan now criticised a "plan by Japan's ruling coalition to present a bill to the Diet, possibly during the current session, to ban the use and sales of prepaid cell phones."

We have to reiterate the statement that this means to punish those who use prepaid in its intentded context just because some misuse the product. In short: Look at technology instead of culbrits.
