Two years have passed since we installed an gintranet-based text/character broadcasting system (L-CAST)h in our Senior High School Department. In the meantime, the number of fluorescent displays for the system has reached 21, with 6 types of programs delivered not only on the original displays set on some hallways of the Senior High building, but also to all the classrooms of the senior high, to our Elementary School Department and to our Junior High School Department as well. In conjunction with this advancement, studentsf consciousness has been changed, and as a result broadcast by the students has begun. Also, our self-developed data input system has drastically been improved, and is now the core of the system. Moreover, a trial run of the new system has already been started that transmits information to all the departments of our school. This is a report on the operation of our system that is now in its 2nd year.
