Re: DAB is a pointless waste of money.
Yup, DAB is a solution in search of a problem these days.
I commented about shitty coverage in my car. There is a single stretch of road (about a mile) where streaming on my mobile doesn't work (although FM is fine there) - but you can't make calls in that location either.
Not to mention that streaming has significantly higher audio quality. I may have tinnitus but even I can hear that the average DAB broadcast has the audio qualities of a 2 inch speaker from a 1970s handheld transistor radio, under a pile of potato sacks and being listened to from the next room with the door closed (Interestingly when I was involved in radio broadcasting we used to have analog toys like "aural exciters", "companders" and all sorts of other fragile trickery to try and make the audio sound half decent on those kinds of radios. Purists hated it, but it's better than sounding like a screechbox)
