[LINK] Digital Radio

[Stephen Loosley]

In response to a report regarding Digital Radio trials in Sydney, at:

http://www.commercialradio.com.au/ssl/documents/ACF45FD.pdf
a few linkers aired opinions.

Despite reasoned and interesting assertions regarding Digital Radio
linked, I think it may well have a significant media / comms impact 

We may see free-to-air radio delivering music, text-based details of
announcements, or the stock prices, the news and weather, in stereo,
on demand, as well as sending on via infrared to any pda / mp3 player.

It seems natural for all pda / mp3 / phones to have a digital radio chip.

>> Receiver manufacturers focussing on sound quality instead of data capacity and 
receiver functionality.

• Blaupunkt Woodstock receiver integrates AM/FM/DAB/CD and MP3 - soon 
recordable.

• Four DAB chip manufacturers of 2nd gen chips Bosch, TI, Frontier Silicon & 
Panasonic.

• Brands: Philips, Panasonic, Pioneer, Siemens, Blaupunkt, Sony, Clarion, JVC.
Content

• Technology can provide storage for information on demand: news, sport, 
weather and traffic updates, rewind, “tell me more” button, display dynamic 
labels, GIF and JPEG files to liven up advertising and logos as well as HTML
files  of websites. --

Cheers all ..
