to broadcast two services in a multiplex. If we created an additional service
it would need its own DSPS licence as well as our needing a DSPS licence

of CR of course. I have asked OFCOM (but not got a response) if a + 1
hour service (i.e. our FM service time shifted) would need to have a separate
DSPS licence and the same question could be asked of the copyright people
I suppose. Otherwise participants in this trial will need to spend a significant
amount of money - over £1,000 - on DSPS licenses for two services and copyright
while almost nothing on the technical equipment etc at the core of the trial.
