Japan’s national TV station NHK has started today a mobile web video site, NHK Street. available to Japanese subscribers.

NHK Street allows subscribers to view video in high quality on their handsets, similar to TV broadcasts.

Images will be transmitted at a maximum of 30fps, supposedly the highest in the mobile industry.

Based on the new technology Media Cast Movie, NHK will offer full-length broadcasts instead of short clips."
