public-service broadcaster Nederlandse Publieke Omroep is looking to roll out a
DAB<SUP>+</SUP> network for the Netherlands with 95 percent coverage by 2017. It
has issued an invitation to tender for the work of getting
20 DAB<SUP>+</SUP> </FONT><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2>stations up and
running.</DIV></FONT></FONT>

stage.</FONT></DIV>
