![July 25th, 2011, Tokyo, Japan - As the clock strikes noon Sunday, July 24, 2011, an information is displayed on the TV screen, telling viewers that analog broadcasts have ended. Except in three northeastern prefectures hit hard by the March 11 earthquake and ensuing tsunami, Japan has shifted to digital terrestrial TV broadcasting. However, according to an estimate by the communications ministry, 290,000 households did not have the necessary equipment to view digital broadcasts at the end of June. The digitalization of TV broadcasting has not only made it possible for the public to view high-definition images and listen to high-quality audio but has also brought about other advantages -- many digital TV sets can be connected to the Internet, for example. The digitalization will likely facilitate the integration of broadcasting and communications, including links to smartphones and tablet computers.
