What’s 1Seg?
1Seg is the terrestrial digital TV broadcasting service
for mobile phones. This service uses 1 of 13
segments of a 6 MHz channel allocated to each
digital TV broadcasting company. This is why the
service is called “1Seg”.
The 1Seg service broadcasts data as well as images
and sounds. The data broadcast aims at
complementing the TV broadcast. You can obtain
more detailed information from data broadcasting
websites or i-mode sites via communication. To
access those data sites, packet communication fee is
required.
You can communicate with the TV broadcasting
companies (TV stations) bidirectionally using the
communication function of your mobile phone. This
means you can take part in a quiz show or purchase
any goods on TV shopping.
Using 1Seg
･
1Seg is a new service provided by TV
broadcasting companies (TV stations).

The 1Seg service broadcasts TV programs and
data free of charge. You do not need to subscribe
to the service.

In the data broadcast area, two types of
information are displayed: data broadcast and
data broadcasting websites. The data broadcast
is the data carried together with images and
sounds via broadcasting signals. The data
broadcasting websites enable you to connect to
the Internet sites provided by TV broadcasting
companies (TV stations) from the data broadcast
information. Sometimes your FOMA terminal may
connect to an i-mode site. To connect to sites,
subscription to the i-mode service is required.
