MLIT to allow gate-to-gate electronics use

This comes after similar regulation changes from the US FAA and EU EASA. MLIT expects to revise the existing rules by summer, with major carriers conforming to those new rules shortly thereafter.
I have one word for this: finally!

This is so typical Japanese government.
1. Don't take any initiative on your own.
2. Copy what everyone is else is doing while maintaining the charade that you're actually conducting some kind of independent evaluation.
3. Tweak a few irrelevant details to maintain the charade.
4. Do it all at a snail's pace.

Not sure, but I don't think the TSA has anything to do with on-board electronics use.
