[edit] Disambiguation

[edit] USA Section

This section is absolutely enormous, and completely full of very, very specific technical information. I doubt that this is of use, or interest to users researching digital radio. --Brideshead 22:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

It may also be copyright infringement. A large chunk duplicates text found at http://www.ibiquity.com/broadcasters/us_regulatory/nrsc_standard_and_test_program --Shantavira 19:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Analog shut off [?]

Has any date been announced for a shut-off of analog radio, just as there has been for analog cellular phones (2008 in the USA), and analog television (2009 in the USA)?

There doesn't seem to be much talk about it at present.Pine 22:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Digital audio broadcasting" is not synonym to Eureka 147, but DAB has always been = Eureka 147.

The article lead says "The acronym DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) has been used to identify the generic technology of digital audio broadcasting, although now it has become synonymous with the Eureka 147 standard." Any source supporting this?

The claim that DAB now has become synonymous with Eureka 147 is wrong, since Eureka is the oldest commercial digital audio broadcasting standard, and has always been named DAB.

When searching in Google, "Digital audio broadcasting systems" (582 hits), "Digital audio broadcasting solutions" normally includes other systems than Eureka 147, while the acrynym DAB only refers to Eureka. For example, the famous research institute Fraunhofer IIS [1] says that "Fraunhofer IIS contributes to nearly all major digital audio broadcasting systems: EU 147 DAB, WorldSpace, XM Radio, Digital Radio Mondiale and DVB-H".
