We learned :
The power of one-seg mobile TV
The ISDB-T one-segment service sends TV
programs to mobile phones, car TVs. This can be
an important safeguard for life and property in
times of emergency even when no electricity is
supplied.
 Policemen saved 40 lives with one-seg mobile TV alarm!
Two new policemen got a tsunami warning alarm from the passengers mobile phone
with TV when checking if everyone is fine in the train. They quickly decided to lead
the 40 passengers to the hill to avoid the disaster of tsunami. All passengers were
safely evacuated from the tsunami area before the tsunami struck the train.
