Japan’s Rakuten has announced plans to set its big data mobile plan at 2,980 yen (USD 27.68) per month, or less than half of major rivals’ offerings, the Nikkei business daily reported for Reuters.
The company said it will announce details of pricing plans for the network - set to launch commercially in April 2020 - at a news conference. Rakuten has attracted global attention as it says it has radically cut the cost of network construction by using cloud-based software and commoditised hardware instead of proprietary equipment, Reuters added.
