they were the driving force behind DAB (digital radio) in Europe

They then proceeded to piss all over DAB cramming lots of extra stations onto their multiplex by slashing their bitrates to unacceptable levels. When they launched DAB Radio 1, 2, 3 and 4 were all broadcast at 192kbps or more (mp2). Nowadays my beloved BBC Radio 4 is down to 64kbps mono a lot of time time, so I don't use DAB
