Categories: East Asia, Japan, Economics & Business, Governance, Media & Journalism, Technology

Blogger and economics professor Ikeda Nobuo has started [1] [ja] an English-language blog entitled “Spectrum Japan [2]” focused on spectrum policy in Japan. In the first post [3], he explains that the Japanese government is planning to stop analogue broadcasting by 2011, and writes about closed meetings held to allocate the spectrum, a range of frequencies amounting to more than 180 MHz, which he refers to as a “command and control” approach.
