[HCDX] DAB digital radio trials launch in New Zealand

DAB digital radio trials launch in New Zealand:
(21-Apr-06)

New Zealand joins the growing list of countries to adopt DAB as the new way 
of broadcasting in the digital age.
The 12-month trial, driven by Broadcast Communications Limited (BCL), a 
broadcast network provider, will cover a large part of the Auckland area.
The trial launches in September and during the trial, BCL will work closely 
with New Zealand's regulatory body to develop a spectrum plan and a policy 
for roll out of both commercial and public broadcasting services.
The WorldDAB Forum - an international non-governmental organisation whose 
role is to promote the awareness, adoption and implementation of DAB 
worldwide - will support BCL by allowing it to benefit from other 
countries' successful regulatory systems for DAB.
Public broadcaster Radio New Zealand, and commercial broadcasters 
RadioWorks and Local Media Group, have agreed to take part in the trial.
Manufacturers will also support the trial by providing DAB products to be 
placed with consumers and industry figures during the trial.
Commercial services are expected to launch in the country within 18 to 24 
months of the trial start date.
