The Toolbox<\/a> was launched during a webinar edition of The Media Club hosted by Matt Deegan, alongside South 180 Research Director David Fern\u00e1ndez Quijada and WorldDAB President Jacqueline Bierhorst.<\/p>\nIt will also be presented at WorldDAB Automotive on 11 June in Frankfurt, focusing on policies linked to in-car DAB+ listening.<\/p>\n
The report was commissioned by WorldDAB and produced by research company South 180 following a review of digital radio policies used across Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.<\/p>\n
It sets out policy measures that have supported DAB+ growth, identifies areas where regulation has slowed digital migration and provides recommendations for future frameworks.<\/p>\n
The guide also outlines the practical challenges faced by broadcasters, regulators, manufacturers and network operators during DAB+ deployment.<\/p>\n
WorldDAB Project Director Bernie O\u2019Neill said: \u201cFM spectrum is saturated. Digital migration isn\u2019t optional, it\u2019s the only viable path to growth for radio.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThis Toolbox gives markets a proven playbook, built on real world experience from four continents.\u201d<\/p>\n
