television archives in Japan??

[Junko Tanaka]

Well, sorry I'm not familiar with access policies of any private stations in
Japan. I really don't think those stations will put millions to do what
NHK's doing, because of 1) their private nature, and 2) rights issues. But
if there's a money-generating possibility to transmit past programs (on a
pay-per-view basis) via the broadband thing, they may think twice.
We just wait and see....
