Thanks Alan.
The "limited supply of bandwidth" is an utter falsehood - sorry.
There are 38 channels available - 7A to 13F - which follow the heritage allocations for European marine VHF channels in Band III from 174 to 240 MHz - see the chart attached and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_high_frequency#/media/File:VHF_Usage.svg
Agreed, there are other (mostly analogue - which won't be affected by digital data) services in that part of the spectrum which may not be able to migrate, but depending on location there is more spectrum available than we shall ever need. The problem is, as with Band II analogue spectrum allocation, the human inertia required to carry out the work.
The high costs you refer to are dictated by the big groups because legislation allows them free rein to be as greedy as they wish.
Your radio "back channel" concept is also a non-starter with RF propagation because it requires the receiver to have a transmission function with a system to collect the data - which is not at all feasible within this level of technology.
The words are good - the concept is sky pie - sorry!

I agree about taking stock – take a look at decision loops - OODA and others;
Covered here on Let’s Talk Business https://soundcloud.com/letstalkbusiness/ltb-210-ways-of-making-sure-youre-paid-in-full-and-on-time
It’s hard to conceive not having all the broadcast platforms we do. My favourite by far is DRM but let’s not start that debate. ☺
The UK was at the vanguard of digital radio in the mid 90s but lost its way. The limited supply of bandwidth still causes high costs today. The ‘fear of loss’ for stations who jumped to digital means they have been saddled with high carriage charges which (possibly naively) may have been put into more local content.
I think the biggest change to radio is yet to come when the system is a closed loop - that is to say when stations can identify, using a back-channel, who is listening and where in real time. Currenty only possible on plaftorms like Sky and RadioPlayer.
Kind Regards

Nothing wrong with standing still occasionally Alan.
Looking around you at the others
Seeing which are progressing - and which appear to be making fools of themselves.
Present company excepted of course
If it ain't broke - don't try to fix it.
Adopt - Adapt - Improve.
Look at where rushing has got us -
Six different digital radio delivery platforms - each incompatible with the others:
Radio via terrestrial digital DAB
Radio via terrestrial digital DAB +
Radio via the terrestrial digital TV system
Radio via the satellite digital TV system
Radio via the digital mobile phone networks
Radio via the digital cable system
Matt Hancock says he wants the UK to be a world leader?
That would be nice.
Because at the moment we seem particularly good at finding blind alleys and not wanting to turn round and find the light again.
Sorry - I seem to have morphed into Mr H Dumpty.

‘Why this blind Lemming-like rush to anything that has the tag "digital"?’
Not lemming like, but because standing still isn’t an option. You’ll effectively be going backwards.
Research:
? 35% of UK jobs will be automated away in around 15 years - Frey and Osborne, Oxford University.
? UK jobs under £30K are 5x more likely to be automated – Deloitte.
? Rate of [digital] transformation is 10x faster and 300x the scale of the industrial revolution. Put another way, that’s 3,000x the impact of the industrial revolution – CAP Gemini / BBC News Report
Digital technology is an enabler for new products and services and the underlying busy model through which they are delivered. However, their hasn’t ever been a case where the introduction of technology hasn’t also meant a change in human behaviour.
This is why we’ve been talking a lot about it on Let’s Talk Business over the past couple of years.

We are in serious danger here of being overwhelmed by Gobbledegook as opposed to the principle of the Crystalmark.
Is Matt Hancock really the "Minister for Digital"?
Forgive me - but can you be a Minister for an adjective?
And we are now intended to believe that "Culture is Digital" - are we?
Why this blind Lemming-like rush to anything that has the tag "digital"?
I really do think that we need a proper comprehensible translation of this piece for those of us who use and speak normal every-day English.
Thank you

Matt Hancock, Minister for both Digital and Culture, has today launched a new Culture is Digital project with a conversation between Government and both tech and the cultural world about how to push this synergy further.
This project builds on a commitment in the Culture White Paper to review the digitisation of our public collections and the enhancement of the online cultural experience. In the recently published Digital Strategy, the Government made commitments to driving digital skills, increasing digital participation and unlocking the power of data.
The Government also stated a clear ambition for the UK to be the best country in the world to launch and grow a digital business and to trial innovative technology. Alongside this, there is an ongoing commitment to artistic and cultural excellence which is the envy of the world.
Matt Hancok wants to look more closely at "creating hybrid content, mixing traditional story-telling techniques with emerging technologies". This requires an ongoing dialogue so artists and creative industries know of opportunities as they arise and the digital sector can realise the full potential of each innovation.
This initiative has four key themes:
? Content Infrastructure: Ensuring the digitisation of collections, aggregation, interoperability and knowledge are in place for digital accessibility to thrive.
? Cultural content and technology: Enabling new formats and mediums for cultural production, experiences and art forms.
? Access and Participation: Supporting new forms of cultural and digital participation and boost community engagement in culture through digital distribution and content.
? Digital skills, IP and business models in cultural organisations: Supporting cultural organisations to develop the right digital skills and capability to drive innovation and resilience.
