Japan’s giant public broadcaster NHK is following the BBC’s lead, but with a major difference. Helped by a revision in Japan’s broadcasting laws about to come into force, NHK Japan is to start offering some of its most popular programmes on the internet, and using MSO Jupiter Telecom as its distribution partner. The main difference between NHK and the BBC distribution model, however, is that NHK will be charging users to access its content. The programming, including drama, will be available for up to 10 days after initial transmission, while the total available archive will comprise 1000 older shows. The service will go live later this year. Source: Rapid TV News
