Launched by all mobile operators April 1st 2006 the NHK developed ISDB-T standard transmit national broadcasters free-to-air programs so each channel is divided into 13 segments. HDTV broadcast signal occupies 12 segments, leaving the remaining one segment for mobile receivers. Thus mobile service reception was code-named 1seg. The Broadcast Markup Language (BML) service allows additional information linked to on-air programs, such as information on athletes and celebrities, recipes, shopping and can provide local emergency alert information as well. According to JEITA, August 2008, 81 million units shipped and we estimate over 50% current total penetration rate. A very useful addition to bolt-on with other service offerings!
