[cma-l] DAB or bust

[Roger]

Hi Javed

Just where does BBC as our partner (CMA )  stand on principal of public 
access to public service broadcasting.. ?

We should all be sharing a common perspective to the 3 sector broadcast 
future shouldn't we?

Questions into the ether....

best wishes &

seasonal clippings to all
