DAT was a remarkably *successful* professional audio technology that is still in use in many studios etc. I think you may have meant DCS (Digital Cassette Tape) a rather poorer cousin that failed abysmally as a consumer technology. <BR/><BR/>In any case I think your analogy still fails as DAB will win regardless, presuming the Government continues with its strategy of essentially turning off FM broadcasts. This is technology push (rather than the technology pull you are talking about) and as the Govt buys into the 'information' society in a big way, it means to put its money where its mouth is. <BR/><BR/>Mind you, where DAB does have an interesting possible competitor is with the new WIFI radios that are emerging that connect to your WIFI connection at home. This could be a truly pluralistic radio technology (rather than having to have broadcast licenses).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
