Developing digital radio broadcasting

Digital radio offers listeners interference-free, CD-quality sound, both at home and on the move, and will enable the introduction of a wider choice of programmes and innovative multimedia and data services.

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) services and equipment are now poised for full market introduction. Broadcasters and manufacturers are planning major promotional campaigns. Like other new technologies such as mobile telephony, DAB is expected to evolve rapidly into an important mass market.
