"government-mandated dedicated bandwidth", but that's one I forgot about. 1/13th of terrestrial bandwidth (actually, time slices) is devoted to this service.

I believe that the government mandates that the mobile 1-Seg service simulcasts the programming carried on the full bandwidth ISDB service for fixed receivers. In February the installed base of phones with 1-seg capabilities in Japan passed the 20 million mark - I can't find anything more recent in terms of numbers. The satellite based mobile TV service in Korea is also highly popular.
