Though some other countries already offer digital TV via the Internet, Planet Japan has come up with a way to broadcast digital media via radio airwaves, and not through satelittes or the Internet.
But the new service in Japan, which is free, will potentially reach the broadest market yet through the country’s terrestrial digital broadcast system, which relays images through the air via TV towers, not satellites.
It also uses broadcasting air waves, rather than an Internet connection, to relay streaming video.
