There is two reasons I dont like DAB: The sound quality, and the
high cost. I usally import FM transmitters by my self, so I can get
transmitter very cheap... But DAB was so expensive, that I could not
understand how this could be a solution. Here in Norway theres only
one commercial stations which has an economic success, but theres
100 others with no economic success. How can they afford DAB?


FM is a very good technology, simple and low cost.
Independant, easy to install.

When i debate about digital radio, my last idea is finaly : it's too
soon. Technology, politic and economic are not ready.



Make your mind up. One minute you're complaining that you have to wait too long and that France are always late, late, late, and now you're saying it's too soon!! 

desperation :(
this is tricky problem, and I don't know actually can choose a system.

DAB is only improve system, but not efficacy
DVB-H or DMB good with AAC+ ;) but too young to the real life.

But with all of these technology, there no spectrum.
How do you make a true digital system.
