In about 2015 anologue (am and fm) radio will be turned off, in favour of an all digital radio.
Thats 5 years to ensure a good proportion of national coverage ( i think they are saying 90%).
5 years to get all the radios changed - watch the electronics junk mountain grow.
5 years to get car radios updated - so that digital will even work in them (too much movement of the reciever leads to poor reception and resolution in poor signal areas)
Transmitter numbers will need to be increased to increase coverage.
Who gets to pay for this- who do you think.
Will it be done in time - what do you think (analogue tv's about to be turned off, and there's still a boat load of numties who don't know what a set top box is)
Still Gov'll be able to sell lots of shiny licenses to small 'community and local' stations - who do you think'll get that money?
