I never would have seen that coming, particularly not in a nation where reading tentacle-rape comics on the subway is considered normal...

On a geek note, this is old news. Porn has always been the biggest use case of the internet (maybe spam has taken over). Seriously... a guy from Motorola told me a few years ago.

So if I opened up TPB (The Porn Bay) there might be some interest?? I find your suggestion (that people want porn) intrigues me and I would like to know more..

Oh and by the way I believe it's spelt pr0n.

I'm sure I don't need to explain the PH

Okay, just so I get that right: You buy an "unlimited" data plan, and once you go beyond average use, you're "abusing" that?

What a great business model...

"Tight access?"

"Swelling?"

I see no pornographic puns here - move along.

Why the hell doesn't this make the news in Japan? Why do the national news headlines here include (not kidding) "Man attacks two women with umbrella"? Where is my 2 hour special about the dangers of cellphone porn??

Sigh, oh well... guess I better go back to panicking about North Korea

Er, won't all that watching porn on a very small screen give you squinty eyes?

Or would that be a very wrong thing to say?

Why on a UK based site is everything quoted in bloody Yen and Dollars!?!! Since Fred the Shred took us all down the pan I haven't a clue how many dollars are to the pound. Don't get me started on Euros

Don't they know "The Internet Is For Porn"?

Paris, no explanation required.

"One such smutmonger, Soft On Demand, has ..."

The company name doesn't inspire confidence in the product.

Let get this straight.

With a LIMITED data contract the ISP have to tell you how much you data can download and how much is left.

But with UNLIMITED, you are still limited but the ISP does not tell you how much you have left or when you will be caped/disconnected.

And yet you pay more for UNLIMITED.

So the Japanese’s version of OFCOM is also a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes

Hur hur... traffic swells... hur hur hur,,, tighter access... hur hur

Oh, erm, *handsets*. Well, nevermind, then.

Mine's the one with "I'm watching pr0n on my cell" on the back.

Dude, you do not want to be anywhere near Japanese porn... Half of what goes for porn there will put you on the sex offender's list in EU or USA.

Why I ♥ Japanese Culture so much >^_^<

“A mobile is far handier than a computer for internet access - I seldom use a PC outside the office."

Why hasn't anyone made the connection that mobile phones are mini netbooks?

Paris, cuz she's so purdy.

The Japanese needer a bigger pipe.

Erm, yeah, sure I do. not sure I can afford it and don't have broadband and a mobe to download it to; but I'm sure I could make out the salient details if I tried really hard.

I got lost at "eagerly slurping".

It took almost an hour for someone to complain about the use of Yen and Dollars in the article.

In 1998, Japan was the world's biggest producer of child pornography and Parliament recently refused to pass a law banning the production of child pornography, citing "business reasons."[8] Under American pressure, in 2003 the Japanese government changed its child pornography laws to match those of the west, however it failed to curtail the industry.[9] However today the law permits people to possess child pornographic images if they have no intention of selling them or pass them on to others.[10]
