Suenaga Masashi, president of Japan's Mobile Broadcasting Corporation, explains that in order to serve Japan's huge commuter population, in 1998 Mobile Broadcasting was set up, using both satellite and cable television technologies to transmit TV content, such as the news and horse racing, to customers in their cars, on their computers, or through their mobile phones.
日本行動通訊廣播公司董事末永雅士表示，為了服務日本廣大的通勤族，1998 年他們就透過衛星與有線電視的技術，將電視廣播內容，譬如新聞、賽馬等節目資訊傳送給戶外的開車族、電腦族、手機族等。
