22nd Aug. 2012: Revision to Basic Monthly Charge of IP-Phone Optional Services

Dear Customer,
Thank you for using our service.
Regrettably we are writing about a revision to the basic IP-Phone optional service charge that will affect users of Asahi Net's IP-Phone optional services.
Since launching our IP-Phone optional services in 2003 we have taken various measures to keep the cost of the service down and have provided our IP-Phone optional services for no basic monthly charge since 2004. However, due to an increase in administrative expenses related to these IP-Phone services and other reasons, it has become difficult to continue offering the services for no monthly charge. Therefore, we regret to announce that from October 2012 a basic monthly charge for our IP-Phone optional services will be charged, as stated below. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
Despite this charge revision, we will continue to strive to provide our Internet connection services and IP-Phone services at the lowest prices in the Internet provider business in Japan.
Should you have a contract for an Asahi Net IP-Phone optional service but are not using the service and wish to cancel it, please contact Asahi Net using one of the methods listed below.
We look forward to continuing to be of service to you.
