Son offers apology for weekend crash

Softbank Mobile Corp. President Masayoshi Son apologized Monday for the system crash. According to Kaho Shimizu, Japan Times Online stuff writer,

Softbank's computer system was snowed under Saturday and Sunday by massive applications following the introduction of the mobile number portability system, which allows people to switch cell phone carriers without changing their numbers. The system was resumed Monday.The computer system was paralyzed when swamped by a huge number of applications that Son described as "beyond our expectations."Softbank acknowledged the computer system did not have enough capacity.To prepare for this weekend, which is likely to draw another massive number of applications because Friday is a national holiday, Softbank will accept only new subscriptions, cancellations and repairs between Wednesday and Sunday.

In addition, Softbank Mobile Corp. is investigated for the violation of goods display law on its advertisements. By those atitudes of Softbank Mobile Corp., I think the company will lose its trust. Actually, I want it to be gone as a mobile corpolation because of no reason.
