The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has determined to require identification verification for IP telephones beginning with “050”, which doesn’t require identification verification on the time of contract, as it’s linked to particular fraud.
At a press convention after the cupboard assembly on the sixteenth, Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Matsumoto mentioned, “I would like to promptly implement the efforts by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.”
