      They really love that “prices are at a level comparable to international standards” line. Not long before they say that when houses are million dollars in random off places.

      They use this tagline a lot, but wages aren’t comparable to international standards so what the fuck are you talking about lol.

    3. Well, the cheaper options exist more thoroughly now. Companies should be free to set their prices as long as meaningful competition is present, which I think it is now. It was very much a cartel before.

    4. They have to stop this shit of saying at international levels, because our salaries are clearly not lmao. Get your head out of the sand

      I pay 2500 for a phone monthly, and even if I wanted a ton of data I would only pay 5000 or so. I think it’s very reasonable, I can’t see how the prices can get lower than they already are.

      Seems like europe/korea etc are not considered international ?
      Unless you mean price is same but jere service is shitty for that price?

      Too bad wages and salaries arnt “at a level comparable to international standards.” 

    8. When it’s good, it’s “international standard”, when it’s bad, it will be “Japanese special characteristics”
