    Trends in Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting Countermeasures for analog channel adjustments that will be necessary to accommodate the upcoming launch of digital terrestrial television broadcasting began in the three largest metropolitan areas on February 9 of this year. The basic policy of the National Promotion Committee for Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting was determined in July for the other areas of the country, where work will advance on establishing a nationwide system. This article provides an overview of the schedule for analog channel adjustment countermeasures, broadcasts in Tokyo/Nagoya/Osaka, digital broadcasting standardization, and work being conducted by related organizations toward digitalization of terrestrial broadcasts. It also explains broadcast-wave relay technology, which will play an important role in the future nationwide service. 1.

  • 2004 Suzuki Environmental & Social Report
    SUZUKI ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL REPORT 2004 Introduction Since our founding, we have constantly pursued business activities in response to our customer’s needs while contributing to social advancement and benefits. And this ideal will never change. In order to maintain our business activities, continue to hold the trust and respect of our customers, clients, stockholders, and the local community, while broadening our contributions to the global society, it is important that each and ev- ery one of our executives and employees deeply appreciates that corporations not only exist for the purpose of financial profit, but exist to carry out social responsibilities as corporate citizens. One of the most important roles in being a corporate citizen is holding a deep commitment to environ- mental activities. The Japanese government’s new “Law Concerning the Promotion of Measures to Cope with Global Warming” requires that drastic improvements be made in automobile fuel efficiency, and ener- gy consumption be further reduced in manufacturing plants using the Top Runner System*. In order to meet these requirements, we at Suzuki are fully committed to achieving these government standards, and will work with utmost effort to expand the use of vehicles that achieve top runner standards at as early a date as possible, develop and promote fuel cell electric vehicles, reduce energy in our manufacturing plants, utilize wind generated power systems, etc. Under the motto “Small Cars — For A Big Future” Suzuki will push forward with manufacturing small cars and environmentally friendly products that meet the needs of our cus- tomers, and make aggressive efforts in a broad range of issues concerning environmental conservation.
