Jani is still has a good point here, though - telehodai is not
"traditional,"
but something relatively new, and I believe the desire to stimulate
internet use was a major reason for introducing it. Telehodai
makes use of otherwise-idle bandwidth and almost certainly
encourages use of the internet outside the telehodai hours, thus
capturing fully-metered customer-minutes they might not otherwise
have had.
Whoa, wait-a-minute -- I'm actually *agreeing* with Jani about
something....

Telehodai. Introduced by NTT. ¥2,000 per month, any number of calls
to specified number for no extra charge. Usually used to surf, albeit
from 11p-8a.
