Czech Republic is currently broadcasting in DVB-T and DAB and also DAB+
Finland started broadcasting in DAB in 1997, but there was no take up, so they discontinued broadcast in 2005.
Canada started DAB broadcasts in 1999, and again due to low take up DAB is currently being shut down.
Oz only started broadcasts last year in DAB+
The Netherlands has postponed plans to continue rolling out DAB, and will instead evaluate newer technologies. The new technologies which will be assessed include the new version of DAB DRM+ and DVB-H, and are more efficient than the current version of DAB, so it is likely that The Netherlands will end up using an upgraded version of DAB based on the AAC+ codec.
So if you were nokia (the worlds largest phone manufacturer) – would you bother developing a DAB reciever to fit your phone, when your home market doesnt broadcast in that format? when you sell worldwide, and only 30 countries currently have a Digital broadcast.. and then there are 3 different formats.
and in the amount of things vying for space in a mobile handset – is there really space to fit the DAB module when it measures 30x38x2.5mm (made by Samsung Electro-Mechanics)
coupled with the fact of how power hungry a DAB reciever is – your battery life of the phone would be dire.
There was a comparison a wind up DAB/FM reciever that was on the market – one minutes winding would give 10hrs of FM listening, but just half and hour DAB listening
