[comradio-l] James Cridland's blog: TechCon - a look back

[CMA-L]

Excerpt:

Next, “DAB in a box” – not a coffin, but a few different low-cost
boxes, shown off by Mathias Coinchon and Stanislas Roehrich from the
EBU. The issue with DAB is lots of broadcasters think it’s really
expensive to broadcast: but it needn’t be. Using open software from
the CRC in Canada and some low-cost transmission kit, a DAB multiplex
was magically set up in front of us – including one channel called
“James’s cat purr”, a channel that just had the (royalty-free) sound
of a purring cat. A very impressive demonstration, and one that should
perhaps give Ofcom pause for thought: what would happen if two DAB
frequencies were simply given to community radio services up and down
the country, to run low-power DAB multiplexes themselves? What amazing
additional choice we’d have then!
