Kansai-
For the past week or so JR's been anouncing, and has posters up saying
portable phones should be turned off. This hasn't stopped them from
advertising keitai companies and web sites.....Ive seen one or two people
turning off their phones, but most don't. And young people are still
punching away email on the late trains.
