How will they listen to a-Ha now?

[BenLurkin]

So what’s to stop someone from broadcasting on the wide open fm bands?

It’s not like they’d be interfering with commercial stations.

There is no longer a stagecoach, but we still have horses. They are throwing away the baby with the bath water.

Don't know if it's the same technology but my car radio has “HD Radio” capabilities.When it works properly it's pretty good but it often fades in and out...even near major cities (Boston/NYC).The car's German and the radio was standard so I assume it's about as good as is available today (or in 2014 to be exact).

But, but that’s the radio waves the Martians are using.

Would I be insensitive if I suggested that the DAB+ makes it easier to hear the Muslim ‘Call to Prayer’? Don’t know if that is true but given the encroachment, who knows?

Don’t forget Norwegians, the government knows what’s best for you.

"...most Norwegians aren’t pleased with the move. Two out of three are opposed to the switchover..."

I'd be willing to bet that the Norwegian people have been voting for Socialist government forever.

With all those FM radios out there, someone could setup some stations just across the border and make a bundle.

Isn’t FM part of the HAM radio frequency bands?

[buffaloguy]

They don’t give a reason for the switch over to dab radio. I wonder what the real reason is.

[catnipman]

I wonder if this will simply kill over-the-air radio all together in Norway? Perhaps not that many owners of the eight million obsolete radios will figure it’s worth it to replace them, preferring instead Norwegian Internet music services similar to Google Play Music, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Prime Music, etc.
