Super Tokyo Tower Coming in 2011
Tokyo's TV stations are going fully digital by 2011, and Tokyo Tower's gonna have some serious competition. Here's an article I wrote about it in the June issue of Wired:
It doesn't have a name yet, but when it's completed in 2011, the 2,001-foot-tall concrete-and-steel tower in the Sumida River region of Tokyo will be the tallest free-standing antenna in the world. Ostensibly, its purpose is to host all of the city's digital radio and television signals, plus a mobile TV network. But the massive transmitter will also broadcast Japan's global cultural significance.
