Starting ‘Em Young In Japan
September, 28th - 2:44 pm ET | posted by in Wireless Industry News
At Wirefly we always have a lot of people asking “what’s the right age for a child to have a cell phone?” and we’ve written about some parental control features that help it make more sense for kids to have phones.
But apparently the United States market has nothing on Japan. According to data from the Japan Mobile Market statistical handbook, last year 29% of children aged 5-9 in Japan are currently toting around cell phones. And that number is expected to more than double to 64% by the end of this year. Brand preferences are apparently established early in Japan.
And we thought adults on cell phones were annoying.
