I may be wrong but I think the use of existing AM & FM frequencies for digital broadcasting hasn't been done anywhere else. America already have digital radio...
Ross, the rest of the world is using DAB. It offers far far more functionality such as being able to run multiple radio stations from the one frequency, which...

I know about DAB which uses Ghz frequencies in Europe. I'm not suggesting that NZ only go for this system & nothing else. I don't see any reason why both...
Well, it's a win for the existing operators, since it shuts out potential competitors who can't get a frequency. Also, I doubt that people will buy two types...

I've asked RSM on a couple of occasions but they didn't seem to know the answer. Kind of got the feeling that they were trying to fob me off. Maybe it was in...

I just did some investigation and it indeed looks as if it uses 128kb/s on FM and guessing around 64kb/s for AM using the PAC audio format. I remember...
