Japan relents on HDTV

Article Abstract:

An advisory panel to Japan's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications proposed that the government discard its antiquated analog high-definition television system (HDTV). A digital HDTV system was proposed as a replacement. The move would not immediately wipe out Japan's analog HDTV standard, but stifle its imminent progress and prepare Japan's final changeover to a digital HDTV system.
