Part of the problem is that what one person might hear and what
another person might hear is different. Whilst I know some people who
can, personally I can't tell the difference between DAB Radio 2 and FM
Radio 2 broadcast via the same set.
Actually that's a lie. I ca

I prefer Andrew's approach. Also in pubs, when someone decides to
show off all the available ringtones on their new phone to their
friend. Grr...

The public don't know what they want! ;) Problem is they'll
settle for naff quality because they don't realise exactly what kind of
quality can be achieved from the technology, they merely accept the
broadcasted quality because they don't believe they can do anything

I suspect you're a little confused about Olinda. It's not R&D's project
(actually, it would be R&I now), but a project being funded and run by BBC
Audio & Music Interactive, of which I'm Head of Future Media & Technology.
So, I might know a thing or two about it.
I thought you might ;)

If C36 (the radar frequency) was reallocated to a national DVB-T multiplex,
it could be done soon. A UHF 8Mhz block can do up to 23.5Mb/s.
If you are talking about MPEG-4, quarter-screen resolution (360x288) I am
sure you could stuff 30 or-so TV channels on there.

Don't confuse the DAB IP telly stuff from BT Movio with proper telly
over DAB. That standard is called T-DMB and it's excellent quality.
It's in use in various places, including South Korea. The cold, dead
hand of Microsoft goes nowhere near T-DMB.
