That's interesting; "The key challenge for the industry is to get DAB onto mobile devices and embrace the concept that radio is much more than just a single platform."
The iPod has no FM radio, although the new Zune does. Check the majority of blogs and forums and a common thought is that you've bought a mobile music player to get away from radio.
Whilst there are more "jukebox" services on DAB, I think you either like the ´óÏó´«Ã½ stations for the chat (Edith Bowman, Steve Wright etc), commercial stations for more music, or just CDs or MP3s for non-stop music, with no news or adverts.
Sky+ and iPods are popular because the user is in control. Maybe the answer isn't DAB, but a last.fm type service over 3G where an advert is dropped in every few songs. If it's not going the way you like send an SMS and it'll adjust your personalised playlist for the band or genre you specify.
I would have thought that'd be more in tune with what people want?
Hello
Could the ´óÏó´«Ã½ confirm that it is official policy for its editors to operate on the premise that the "Coalition effort in Iraq" is the occupation of a country "for positive ends"?
If it is not official policy, how does the ´óÏó´«Ã½ plan to maintain a balance between views that accept the premise and views that do not?
I think you are a little over optimistic here, you claim there is one post and I detect none, apart from this little note to tell you the space is otherwise empty.
"´óÏó´«Ã½ in the news, Monday", well that WAS exciting!
Can we have our "Home" message board back now pleeeeeezzzzzz.
