Cover Story 1 "One-segment service," launched out of undercooked discussion, holds potential "bombs" for pressed cellular operators On April 1, mobile terrestrial digital broadcasting, or the "one-segment service", was formally started.  With the good turnout in the sales of terminals, the service surely seems to be a big hit.  Cellular operators, however, cannot envision any full business models yet, which strongly indicates that the launch has an aspect of premature decision. Cover Story 2 "The detection rate of unsolicited mail is 60%" - tests with products revealed Unsolicited mail prevention appliances with the catch phrase "we can filter out 90% or more of unsolicited mail" are appearing in succession.  This magazine conducted field tests with four of these products and found that the detection rate of unsolicited mail in Japanese was about 60%.
