> I'm sitting in a sterile white conference room waiting for Hiroyuki Nishimura. Japan is a nation where the 3:17 train arrives every day at 3:17 — not 3:16 or 3:18 — and Nishimura is 45 minutes late. The PR assistant who painstakingly coordinated our interview, a typical salaryman with a dark suit and receding hairline, looks increasingly uncomfortable.

> "I was late to two other meetings today," Nishimura says when he finally arrives. It's a semi-apology, delivered as he shuffles across the room in Velcro sandals. He has a slightly nasal Tokyo accent and speaks in an informal idiom rarely used in business settings. "I can't wake up in the morning or get to places on time. I often wonder whether I'm an adequate human being. Seriously."

Also in Japan HDTV transmissions have been going out for years and most people have fiber optic broadband.
