Mobile Broadcasting to Reduce Disaster Damage

A high-tech country is always able to make a reasonable contribution to the prevention of natural or manmade disasters. May be it even is a sign of improved conditions in a country since a poor country is not able to contribute much, normally.

Korea now wants to "play an important role in disaster preparation in the Asian area with its cutting-edge technology.

The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) said yesterday it had recommended Asian countries adopt terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) as their disaster warning system."

T-DMB is a promising cross between telecom and broadcasting, enabling people to enjoy crystal-clear video, CD-quality audio and data on the move via mobile handsets.
