    Switzerland to end 2024 with an analog FM broadcast-killing bang

    Time to upgrade that receiver if you're one of the few Swiss that
    still don't have one able to receive DAB+ signals

    dumb
    de dumb da de dumb. So it will be like DTV where you get it or not? Or
    is it going to be on another variant of internet? We are talking about
    data that is encoded, and waves that passes through and we are able to
    pick up.

    Interesting. What is the driver? Do they need the frequency space for
    something else? If not, why not just let the private stations carry on if
    they like?

    I'd say a business reason (more channels possible...less power
    required).


    DAB+ also cuts down on "electrosmog," a term for the EM fields and
    radiation emitted by pretty much every bit of electrified technology
    we use, SBC said, because it emits far less waste energy, and antennas
    would be located in more remote, high-elevation areas outside of
    population areas.
