docomo helps travellers, au helps parents and SoftBank helps teachers! Plus, mixi’s still open (somehow), DMM’s chomping at the Bit(coin) and an MVNO warning when travelling to the States! All this (and a few idols) on this week’s #ZettaiGeekDayo!

As always, if you have any comments, questions, concerns, topics or you just wanna chat, I’d love to hear from you. Please tweet them at me on Twitter @kayleedayo with the hashtag #ZettaiGeekDayo so I can find them.
