Digital Radio The recent round of consultation undertaken by the Ministry of Economic Development regarding application of digital technologies in the wireless bandwidth has resulted in a “pause” for five years before giving serious consideration to the possible use of VHF Band III for digital radio broadcasting. This is partly because of uncertainty regarding the eventual switch off of analogue TV, partly because of the absence of any successful business model for digital radio at this time. The most advanced digital radio market in the world, the U.K, has been conspicuously unsuccessful from a commercial point of view and we believe there is every chance that Australia will end up in the same unfortunate position. We are closely monitoring both the U.K and the Australian situation, as well as keeping in touch with developments of HD radio in the U.S (now offered by more than 2,000 stations).
