Reading the following, doesn't make dab (at least in Norway) look worth investing in. http://digitalradioinsider.blogspot.com/2018/11/no-more-investments-in-nationwide-dab.html It seems to suggest, getting the government, to outright ban FM radio transmissions, in order to get dab radio to succeed. Which, sounds a bit naughty to me (i.e. it causes this: http://digitalradioinsider.blogspot.com/2018/09/listeners-calling-on-parliament-to.html ). |

But, internet radio (or whatever you want to call it, e.g. via Amazon Alexa), seems to be a promising way, as well. Assuming you are happy that there is a slight/tiny (or worse, depending on how you worry about such things) loss of privacy (E.g. your listening preferences could be noted), and consumption of your internet bandwidth. |

DAB has 'traditionally' (if that's the right word) been something of a niche area - probably because it is a fairly localised standard. When I was designing high volume consumer in the UK, we were lobbied quite hard by the semiconductor manufacturers to produce a DAB product. Unfortunately my oriental lords and masters vetoed the idea, which was a shame because the achievable margins would have been much better than a lot of our DVB-T stuff. --- End quote --- That was a long time ago, when the volumes were low. These days DAB operates in quite a few places, the volumes are pretty good, and the silicon is standardised and cheap. Asian companies make a lot of this stuff now. |
