Zilog
A Z86! Wow, I knew Zilog would make a 16-bit version of the Z80 if I waited long enough.

Germany flicks off-switch on DAB

So how do we recover the FM/MW/LW part of the spectrum for digital use?
Am I being dumb here? I thought that the point of digital broadcasting was that it used less bandwidth than analogue. Thus, if we can successfully transition consumers from their old crystal sets to DAB receivers, we can (maybe in 25-30 years time) repurpose the old analogue part of the spectrum for digital use, and get better value from it.
It's a long game and that's why we need independent commissioners - so they can take the long-term view without too much interference from commercial pressures and (ptui!) democratic governments, both of which are characterised by an extremely short-term outlook.
