Guidelines proposed for Japan's set-top boxes

By Yoshiko Hara
TOKYO - A special working group has outlined the desirable form of set-top boxes for digital-TV broadcasting in Japan. And the group has forecast that the Japanese market for such set-tops will grow to about $13 billion in 2005 and to $24.6 billion in 2010.

The working group has been studying digital receivers for digital-TV broadcasting under the Study Committee of DTV since last December. It submitted a report to the parent committee last week.

The Study Committee of DTV, consisting of influential figures in industry and academic society, was formed by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPT) last June as an advisory committee to discuss the smooth introduction of digital terrestrial broadcasting.

The committee is scheduled to make an interim report in June, which will be based principally on the working group's report about receivers.

The working group positioned digital-TV receivers as part of a home multimedia center which will be capable of handling all media-not just digital TV, but also communications and other media.
