Apple iPhone 3g is available only in a special package at most network operators, which obligatorily includes data access besides voice calls. Japanese Softbank, even though they had a great quarter, can only be second to NTT DoCoMo. The leaders of the company have decided the price of the data package, that had a price of 5.985 yen, that was considered too much by many people. The price of the unlimited data quantity (more than 71.250 data packets, or 8.6 MB) is still the same, but there are some who transfer less than 21.175 data packets (1.3 MB) in a month, and they have to pay only 1.695 yen. The pricing of intermediary data amounts is done in a linear way. Of course if someone downloads a couple of music tracks or does a software update, then they will have to pay the price for the full package.
