Messaging Giant Line Becomes a Phone Carrier in Japan 10
Popular instant messaging service, Line, is entering the mobile carrier business in Japan. The company says that its carrier will utilise telecommunications infrastructure of major Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo and start at an affordable price of 500 yen (roughly $4.40) a month. Jon Fingas reports for Engadget: As of this summer, Japanese residents can subscribe to Line Mobile and get unlimited use of not only Line's chat and call services, but the "main features" (browsing and posts) of Facebook and Twitter.

What does that mean?
We're mostly adults here we don't need SCREAMING HEADLINES. When every word starts with a capital letter, then capital letters have no meaning. Use them as a grownup would please.
