But I repeat the fact that when DAB used a higher data rate the take up
was poor.

Conkers.. like any new tech the initial take up is poor 'cos the gear
costs too much at first..

CD took off pretty quickly. As did colour TV.

Yes they did as they offered something better Higher quality and
colour!.

Have you ever thought Dave just how many new cars, and trucks, and
lorries are delivered daily without a DAB radio in the dashboard?..



Not that this was "new" tech....

BTW, you missed out FreeView as a source of radio. Cheap hardware and
most have the necessary aerial already in place.

Indeed 'tho you can't carry it around with you;!...

A reply to your bit about satellite radio.

Indeed. But the good old UK has someway to go the match the Germans on

surround sound
