Digital
Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB)
DMB is an extension of the Eureka-147 DAB technology and enables
the delivery of TV, video, digital quality audio and other
exciting data services to mobile devices. At the forthcoming
International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam which
will be held on 9-14 September, the Korean Broadcasting System
(KBS) will be conducting a terrestrial DMB (DMB-T) demonstration
with handheld DMB receivers from Samsung, PersTel and onTimetek.
The Korean government has recently approved the introduction
of DMB-T broadcasts of television programmes to mobile devices.
Commercial products are expected to be available to consumers
by the end of the year from the Korean manufacturers such
as Samsung, PersTel and LG.

DAB
Receivers Continue to Grow
In Singapore, the total number of DAB owners have grown by almost
400% over the last 2 years since the launch of Digital Radio in Nov
1999. DAB looks set to grow further in Singapore with the recent
launch of more affordable DAB receivers such as the PURE Digital's
Evoke-1 plus many more interesting products over the next few months.
In the UK, it is predicted that there will be more than one million
DAB owners by the end of 2004. In fact, an independent report by
Eureca Research forecasts that the installed base of DAB receivers
in Europe will increase from around 512,000 at the end of 2003 to
39.55 million at the end of 2010 representing a Compound Annual
Growth Rate (CAGR) of 86.1%.

| Hear
what our Listeners have to say about Digital Radio...
“Firstly,
just wanna say that DAB has been a pretty neat thing to have
for the car stereo. I've been enjoying it immensly, especially
those DAB-only channels like the 24-hr dance music on Digital Radio's
Club Play - no DJs and no ads! And I reckon the other channel
that has been improved dramatically is MediaCorp Radio's Symphony
as orchestral music just doesn't do itself justice without
that sort of audio clarity! Another happy DAB user…”
