The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) has drawn up a bulletin plan for partial reform of the Broadcast-use Frequency Utilization Plan (1988 Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications Bulletin No. 661) affecting terrestrial digital television broadcasting. Accordingly, an appeal for opinions will be held from February 2 (Wed) to March 3 (Wed), 2011.
1. Reasons for modification
At present, there is poor reception of terrestrial digital television broadcasting in some regions around the coast of Seto Inland Sea in Iyo City and Oozu City, Ehime Prefecture.
In order to make possible the reception of terrestrial digital television broadcasting in these regions, the Broadcast-use Frequency Utilization Plan will now be modified to facilitate the opening of a terrestrial digital television broadcasting relay station in Aoshima (Nagahama-cho, Oozu City, Ehime Prefecture) after the termination of terrestrial analog television broadcasting.
Please note that temporary satellite countermeasures will be carried out until the relay station is opened after the end of analog broadcasting.
2. Subject of appeal for opinions

3. Outline of appeal for opinions
See enclosed document.
4. Schedule
