• Radio Day
　In 1950, the Radio Act, the Broadcasting Act, and the Act for Establishing Radio Regulatory Commission came into effect, significantly opening up the use of radio waves to the public. In commemoration of this event, "Radio Day" was established to spread and enhance the knowledge of radio wave usage among all segments of the public and to contribute to the promotion of radio wave use.
• Info- Communications Promotion Month
　The Info-Communications Promotion Month was established during the reform of the information and communications system in 1985, with the aim of promoting widespread and active use of information and communications. Throughout this month, various events related to information and communications will be held nationwide to enhance public understanding and cooperation in these areas, enriching our lives.
