192kbps is the current bitrate generaly used

Experience doesn't show this fact !
If we know that NRJ will use 256 kbps for this radio certainly, it's
the case for small radio.
And if mobile TV comes on DAB mux, space will become rare
:(

It's not a reference !! did you listen to they audio at 256kbps ?

Le Mouv use 256kbps on DAB and the sound is more bad than FIP at
192kbps.


I've listened to plenty of Radio 3 on DAB using 192 kbps, as well as lots of
TV channels using 192 kbps, and 192 kbps DOES NOT provide FM-quality.

Are you suggesting that DAB should use lower than FM-quality?
Are you suggesting that DAB should be used and you can't fit all the
existing analogue radio stations on DAB?
Are you suggesting that DMB should not be used for mobile TV?


I think you are contradicting yourself.

I just pick this sentence on your website :

-----------------------------------------
Perceptual coding has made great advances in recent years. In the
following table, the MPEG standards are listed in chronological order
showing the bit rate required to achieve "near CD-quality":


Codec Bit Rate Compression Ratio
Layer 1 (MP1) 384 kbps 3.7
Layer 2 (MP2) 192 kbps 7.3
Layer 3 (MP3) 128 kbps 11.0
AAC* 96 kbps 14.7

*Advanced Audio Coding
