Listen to this. It is a few seconds each of FM and DAB. Which is
which?

I'm not playing your little games, Pearce. Sorry.

I knew that when to came to a real test you would prove to be all
mouth. Having proved a failure, you can go.


Oh, I'm staying. Failure? Hardly.

You have demonstrably failed at everything concerning DAB you have
bragged about attempting,


I came up with the idea that led to the design of DAB+, because I'd
been banging on about using mobile TV systems since around 2002/3, and
DAB+ is just the DMB mobile TV system without video support. I also
influenced the decision to design DAB+, because the French
broadcasters quoted my website pretty much verbatim when they argued
against using DAB in their digital radio consultation, and by an
amazing coincidence they proposed to use DVB-H instead, whcih just
happened to be what my website was proposing should be used, because
it was so much more efficient than DAB.

I also helped a couple of people from Sweden stop DAB being adopted,
which was successful, and Sweden is now looking at using DAB+.

It was the French decision not to support DAB that was the main reason
why DAB+ was designed at all though. The UK broadcasters and the DAB
old guard were all trying desperately to hang on and for the whole of
Europe to use DAB, but once France told them where to go the writing
was on the wall, because the mobile TV systems would have been adopted
instead of DAB. I later changed to supporting the use of DMB rather
than DVB-H, and by another amazing coincidence France ended up
choosing DMB for its digital radio system.

Failure? Hardly.

And the fact that so many people know about DAB+ today is down to my
website as well.


and now having given you the most trivial of
tests that should have been easy for you, you have failed at that
too.


I haven't even tried your little game.

The adoption of DAB was the most incompetent technical
decision ever made in the history of UK broadcasting:
