Comcast's "TV Japan" channel unencrypted for a week

.......................................
Comcast opens up TV Japan to digital cable viewers for earthquake coverage
March 11, 2011 By John Cook 

... if you want to get a Japanese perspective on the tragedy, Comcast early this morning unencrypted the signal for TV Japan. That means digital cable customers can now watch broadcasts from the 24-hour news channel.

Washington state digital cable customers can tune in on channel 245, which is normally a premium cable channel. It will be available for one week, free of charge to digital cable customers in the state, according to a spokesman.

Meanwhile, YouTube is showcasing videos of the earthquake on its “Citizen Tube” channel, including this one of the destruction inside a grocery store. ...

Cnet also reports on how social networks are helping to fill the gap on the overloaded communications infrastructure in Japan.

Meanwhile, mobile phone users can help the relief efforts with a $10 donation by texting REDCROSS to 90999, with all proceeds going to the Japan earthquake and pacific tsunami.

Why have five people marked this as "funny"?

Some people deserve having their asses handed to them, especially the chicken-shit Bitch of Olympia....

Anyone that would use the Japanese disaster for humor is about the sickest person in the world...
