Japanese Cell Phones To Receive Digital TV Broadcasts

from the convergence dept

According to a report, the Japanese government is supporting a proposal to require mobile phones to have the ability to received digital TV signals. While I definitely think it's a cool concept, I'm still confused as to how big the market is for people who want to watch television on their mobile phone.

    Actually, it's difference in economy. Asian
    countries have state-led economies which make
    decisions which would not be acceptable by
    private-led economies viable. At least telecom
    industry seems to benefit from state led economy
    structure. Just have a look at South Korea and
    some European countries. They couldn't have achie-
    ved their current status in telecom industry with a pure market economy.
