HFCC discussions on future of DRM


"From both formal and informal discussions among participants at the
HFCC, it is now clear that the proposed DRM (DigitalRadioMondiale)
system, that would have converted analogue Shortwave to digital, FM
like quality reception would hardly be implemented if ever on a large
scale, beyond the current experimental stage........there are no plans
from any large manufacturer to produce such (DRM) receivers now."

Two comments from the author of the text published on the link above
athttp://mt-shortwave.blogspot.com:


1) NEXUS-IBA requested the removal of the private email from the blog,
because it was private information sent to NEXUS-IBA members and to a
group of SW program producers. The content of this email was neither
intended, not authorized for publication.


2) The position stated above is NOT an official position of the HFCC,
but just informal data gathered during the "formal" discussions among
some *HFCC members at the latest conference in Kuala Lumpur.


Our "official" position on DRM is published athttp://www.egradio.org/index.php?name=FAQ&id_cat=7


It is very unfortunate that all this got into public domain and
counter-published on other websites.

DRM has a potentially interesting future and, along with other
emerging technologies, should be given scope to develop.

At the end of the day it will depend on content, take-up and business
foresight - driven, rightly so, by the consumer.
