10M analog boxes need to be replaced by 2000.................................. U.S. Computer Firms To Join Japan Digital TV Study ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Received: October 15, 1997 01:45am EDT From: REUTERS TOKYO, Oct 15 (Reuters) - The Posts and Telecommunications Ministry said on Wednesday that representatives from Microsoft Corp , Intel Corp and Compaq Computer Corp will join the ministry's study group to set up a standard for Japanese digital satellite broadcasting. "This is to reflect the computer industry's opinion in discussions to decide on the formats for digital TV broadcasting starting in 2000," a ministry spokesman said. The study group under the ministry's Telecommunication Technology Council is comprised of representatives from Japanese broadcasting and consumer electronics firms and has studied three technological formats so far. The group will examine two more formats following the entry of the three U.S. firms, the spokesman said. The three firms have proposed formats that would work better with computers and facilitate the convergence of TV and computer technologies. Japanese consumer electronics makers and broadcasters, on the other hand, are advocating technology similar to current analogue TV systems. Japan plans to introduce digital broadcasting satellite channels in 2000, when it launches the BS-4 broadcasting satellite. The current three-channel analogue broadcast satellite service, launched 10 years ago, has 10 million subscribers in Japan.
