The present invention I related to a contents provider supplies encoded contents to a transmitting station, and broadcasts the encoded contents via a satellite. At a gas station inside a service area of the satellite, a base station to receive the contents from the satellite is disposed. The contents provider transmits to each base station decoding keys to decode the transmitted contents via the Internet. The base station relates the received contents to the decoding keys to store in a large capacity memory. When a vehicle stops by at the gas station, a vehicle-mounted apparatus communicates with the base station so as to download the contents, accumulate in a memory, and reproduce. This enables digital contents to be distributed to a mobile body with small-scale equipment.
