Why ?

Why restrict one's sources to a local transmitter when the Internet
provides global digital radio & tv ?

Poorly thought out question.

Where can you get internet?

1. Try getting high quality internet radio in your car without an expensive
and not-dependable GPRS subscription

2. Try getting the same in your pocket

3. Try getting broadband internet out in rural areas (other than satellite)

DAB is great, and it works, could do with better bandwidth on some stations
but the sound quality tradeoffs are there with every medium and format.

I should imagine all these will be easy in 5 years, making DAB a minor
stopgap while we wait for better things.
