>> The Australian parliament today passed legislation allowing for digital
>> radio to be rolled out in the state capitals by 1 January 2009.
>>
>> The move has been welcomed by industry body, Commercial Radio
>> Australia, which represents 98 percent of commercial radio stations.
>>
>> "Digital radio ushers in a new era for radio and for the 95 percent of
>> Australians who listen to radio every week," said Joan Warner, Chief
>> Executive Officer of CRA.
>>
>> "The passing of the legislation means consumers will get vastly
>> superior radio services sooner rather than later and it gives industry the
>> certainty it needs to move ahead on the massive investment in
>> broadcasting infrastructure that will be required."
>>
>> She said while the legislation covered the licensing, planning and
>> regulation for digital radio initially in the six cities of Sydney,
>> Melbourne,
>> Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart, regional and rural Australia
>> would not miss out
>>
>> "There are around 220 commercial radio stations who play a very
>> important role in the lives of listeners in regional and rural Australia,
>> and
>> it"s important that they share in the benefits that digital technology will
>> bring," she said.
>>
>> Ms Warner said the act reflected the industry's key policy requests and
>> the vital role commercial broadcasters would play in the roll out and
>> success of digital radio.
