Same problem applied to Spain where V and B are the same sound.

Interesting, I didn't know this.
While I don't have a problem with the name change it is a rather
unfortunate swap in a country that has no sound for V. Vodafone
sounds "boda-hone" in Japan. it's also a longer name, and that
they're changing my address from a keitai-friendly @jp-t.ne.jp to a
decidedly longer @vodaphone.something kind of irks me. I'd be
happier if they'd just leave the old addresses alone and give new
subs the new address.
Lawrence.
