New technology permits more DAB licences
Biel-Bienne, 14.11.2006 - A new technology means that the service offering on digital radio can be further im-proved. A new coding technique has made it possible to double the number of radio programmes which can be transmitted on a frequency/platform. OFCOM is therefore increasing the number of DAB licences to be awarded from three to eight. The dead-line for new applications is being extended to 31 December 2006.
