I think that it would be a mistake to sideline DRM+. Many problems of
the multiplex system can be overcome with sufficient regulation.
Unfortunately, this means that in many countries, the problems of the
multiplex system (in terms of what it implies for choice,
independence, and diversity of ownership) will be very serious!

However, even with four times the spectral efficiency on DAB+ vs DAB,
it's daft not to use DRM+ for local stations.

To ensure a level playing field, countries (probably excluding the
backward UK) will have to ensure that their digital radio system is a
combination of DAB+ and DRM+. DRM itself is the one that seems less
useful to me - in very large countries is has a clear use, but in
smaller countries, it'll be a bit like shortwave is now: only a few
people will know or care about it.

I couldn't help agreeing with everything you have just said. It's as if you have just explained my opinions about DRM+.
