While the Air Force Base at Yokota is U.S. jurisdiction, it resides on Japanese soil, and is therefore ultimately governed by international copyright laws. Many U.S. content providers do not have international rights to broadcast in Japan. We go to great lengths to obtain the best U.S. programming that is allowed by law, but the attorneys for some of the more popular channels, such as HBO and Disney, are not comfortable with their broadcast rights outside of the states.

Allied Telesis is required to support customer portability requests allowing you to keep your assigned telephone number. Please note however that Yokota is the only base outside of the United States that supports US telephone numbers and thus your number will only work at Yokota or in the US. If you are transferring to another base outside of the US, your phone number will not work there.
Allied Telesis supports number portability within the "Rate Centers" we currently subscribe to. You can submit your request to customer service to determine if the number can be ported into our system. If you are moving from one geographic area to another, you may not be able to take your number with you. For more information, you can go to "http://www.fcc.gov/cib/consumerfacts/numberport.html"
