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

[Ian Hickling]

I've been saying this all along.
Thank you JC - for endorsing it.
The stumbling block is the "what if" factor in  ".... what would happen if two DAB frequencies were simply given to community radio ...."
Not technically precise, but I know what you mean.
Now try getting that past idea HMG, Ofcom and the big Mux owners!
