DAB sales hit five million mark

Sales of DAB receivers in the UK have just passed the five million mark. The announcement was made by Ian Dickens, the CEO of Britain's Digital Radio Development Board, at the EBU Digital Radio Conference, in Geneva.

At the same event, Dominic Strowbridge of BT Movio suggested that EBU members should lobby EC Commissioner Viviane Reding about the commucation on mobile broadcasting, which is due in July. Dominic urged delegates to insist that the communication calls for digital radio to be included in any 'harmonised European mobile broadcasting receiver,' or whatever is the official name for whatever they are trying to acheive.
