Mobile Broadcasting to Reduce Disaster Damage

South Korea aims to play an important role in disaster preparation in the Asian area with its cutting-edge technology, according to The Korea Times.

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.

When an early warning system is established in relation to TDMB, it would warn users of imminent disasters through the T-DMB terminals."
