I'm of a view that if you do have an opportunity to provide something to a
high standard, you take it. Not everyone will appreciate it, maybe, small
price. I found the whole roll-out of DAB wrong-headed.


How high is high?


Mmm. Quite. Well, firstly it could have been higher:

Secondly, regulation could have enabled higher bitrates. I know it
sounds fruitless, elitist, and I'd be the first to admit that most
people don't seem to care if it's 32kbps or 256, but *I think* it could
have been a bit higher than it is - perhaps at the cost of a few radio
stations. I accept the fact you don't, and really, I don't lose any
sleep over the whole thing.

I reckon that Dab as we know it will die away left behind by other radio
tech, and theres still no firm date for digital changeover indeed a lot
of the commercial sector can't afford to run DAB and FM transmissions..

Some are wondering if we really need T-DAB as it stands if we should
have digital then either Internet or satellite for home use .. and well,
Dab for mobile?, except that the receiver's in cars is a tricky one;!..
