Well it's been a bad year for DAB.
Just over 70,000 users in the UK now out of a population of 58 million. That after over 8 years of investment! Freeview are clearing the shelves at the rate of 30,000 a month just now!
ITN & Bloomberg threw in the towel... they both kwow DAB is the white elephant of digital technology. I suspect there is more chance of getting people to take digital images with mobile phones (allbeit a small one) than DAB becoming even remotley relevant in this decade.
Well done to Videologic for advancing the DAB concept by 0% with the lauch of their "Heathkit" wooden wireless product - the price is less but then again so is the product!
I suspect there will be a lot of head-scratching in 2003 as to where the whole DAB thing is going.... can the broadcasters really keep shovelling their hard earned cash into the abyss? I think not!
