Japan plans to test live-broadcast of terrestrial digital television programs on the Internet via fiber-optic cable networks starting this fall, government officials said Thursday.

If successful, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications hopes to introduce the service in 2006. The re-broadcasting service would particularly benefit TV viewers living in areas that cannot be reached by terrestrial digital TV signals.

As Japan's nationwide development of infrastructure for terrestrial digital TV broadcasting services is expected to cost massive amounts money and time, some regions could be left out of TV broadcasting services when the present analog broadcasting system is terminated in 2011.
