Perhaps it won't but what I'm saying is that mobile broadband internet
radio will become more popular than portable radio receivers, whether AM,
FM or DAB. If adequate quality for the purpose is available at only
32kbps, then bandwidth is no bar to this developing.


Broadcasting covers large areas at low cost, mobile broadband covers small
areas at high cost. If you are right, then the mobile networks will have
serious problems in coping with the bandwidth demand within the allocated
radio spectrum. Unlike wire-based broadband you can't just run in extra
capacity, the only option is to further sub-divide the cells, which is very
expensive.
