DAB on the rise, apparently

The Digital Radio Development Bureau predicts more than half of UK households will have DAB digital radio sets by 2010, with around 300 models now available.

More than half of UK households will have digital radio sets by 2010. It's true. Look, the Digital Radio Development Bureau say so, and they're not biased.

DRDB top bloke Ian Dickens told reporters yesterday: "Over the past four years, we have seen a dramatic rise in the number of DAB digital radio sets available to consumers, and there are now about 300 different models available from all the leading consumer electronic brands. Having established a firm product base in the traditional radio market, our aim is to ensure DAB digital radio is also available across a broader range of devices as digital convergence continues. To meet these needs, DAB digital radio must be included in new multi-purpose devices, and the good news is that the first such products are already hitting the streets".
