The future of radio may well be digital, but it won't survive on DAB

Has DAB radio been a con?

Was the purpose all along to free up bandwidth to sell?

Years and years of propaganda about the wonderful sound quality of DAB - still not delivered. That muffled underwater sound, and reception is variable. Even in a small area covering Edinburgh the reception is inconsistent. The price of radios has come down, and I use my DAB radio in the kitchen often, but really I think the internet and wifi makes DAB obsolete for most listeners.

Early adopters who believe the hype are punished again. Smart meters anyone?
