    Construction of the Tokyo Sky Tree®, a


    digital terrestrial broadcasting tower with a
    height of 634 m, was started in July 2008 Balloon
    in Sumida City, Tokyo. The tower will not
    only transmit digital terrestrial broadcast-
    ing that is slated to begin in the spring of
    2012 in Japan; it will also serve as a symbol
    of efforts to achieve community affluence.
