Responding to government pressure to lower cellphone fees, SoftBank Group Corp. Chairman Masayoshi Son said Wednesday the carrier provides good value for money, but that it is open to providing more options.

"There have been debates in media recently that communication fees are expensive in Japan ... If customers want cheaper services, we will provide them," Son told a news conference.

The government targeted mobile phone carriers in September when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said cellphone fees weigh heavily on household budgets and hold back consumption.
