non-DoCoMo IPs and users register their favorite
channel for viewing. Packet communication fee for
automatic information update and other fees in
relation to Favorite channel are not included in the
i-channel service fee.

channel can be displayed as a ticker on the standby

to the IPs who provide the channels.
