      No, Japan just listened to the previous app market monopoly that was NTT Docomo and other providers who wanted their money pot back.

      i can assure you japan isn’t that much saner than the rest of us, like really the one big thing they have going for them is pretty good urban planning and public transport.

      Where most nations have people working their asses off because they need money to buy food, japan made the innovation of having people work themselves to death mostly out of social obligation instead! Much more exciting.
