Hello, thank you for speaking with us today about the lifestyle infrastructure service, Turnip&Peace. Could you introduce yourselves and share your thoughts on the recent launch of the service, including the provision of mobile communications and optical line services?
Guest 1: Thank you for having us. I’m Tomoyo Kawamura, a tech journalist covering the latest trends in the telecommunications sector. It’s great to be here today to discuss the launch of Turnip&Peace’s lifestyle infrastructure service.
Guest 2: I’m Kana Yoshimura, a business analyst who specializes in the telecommunications industry. I’m excited to be here to provide further insights into the new offering and its potential impact on the market.
Q: Can both of you please provide an overview of the newly launched mobile communication service, KABU&Mobile? What sets it apart from other services in the market, and what challenges do you see for the new entrant?
Guest 1: Sure. KABU&Mobile is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that provides services compatible with the three main carriers, Docomo, KDDI, and Softbank. This means customers can choose their preferred carrier and switch easily if they’re not satisfied with the service. The plans include options for 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, 20GB, and 50GB data, with different call rate options available.
Guest 2: What’s interesting about KABU&Mobile is the addition of stock exchange certificates as a loyalty program. For every dollar spent on the plan, users receive a stock certificate that they can exchange for Cub&Peace stock or discounts on services. This unique incentive could potentially attract customers who are also interested in investing in the company. However, the main challenge would be competing against the already well-established MVNOs in the market with their own attractive loyalty programs.
Q: Turning to the internet communication service, KABU&Hikari. Could you tell us more about the different speed plans offered, pricing, and how they compare to existing providers in the market?
