Nach monatelangen Stillstand der Rechtspflege (letztes Update war vom April 2006) wurde die offizielle Webseite des DRM-Konsortiums aktualisiert (aktueller Stand: 13.12.2006).
Gerade eben in Wolfgang Büschels brandneuem BC-DX 786 gefunden: INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTERS AND OTHERS BECOMING SCEPTICAL OVER DRM. Just been reading an 8 page article The Future of Radio 2 in the justpublished World Radio TV Handbook 2007, a series of interviews as a follow
up to last years with much mention of DRM. Summarising the views given: Nigel Chapman, Director BBC World Service: Not very optimistic over DRM. Keeping toe in the water but not investing any more in DRM at the moment. What's the market? BBCWS cutting back on European languages and radio generally for television. May be somepossibilities in Asia. "As you've probably already gathered we're members
of the DRM sceptics club in Bush House."Guido Baumhauer, Managing Director, Strategy, Marketing and Distribution ,
Deutsche Welle: Ready to go digital in a big way if and when receivers are more commonlyavailable. However customers will buy DRM receivers only if there are more and better programmes. DW is following a multi platform strategy including
television and streaming internet services using P2P technology and on demand audio and television. Mathew Palmer and Martin Orell of The Technology Partnership, experts in RF design and product development:See DRM as a bolt on technology to DAB but can't see a commercial return.
"The question we would ask is why bother?" They were very early into DABbut all the research and development is now going into interactive mobile
TV and radio and on demand services. David Jackson, Director of Voice of America: No plans to broadcast in DRM. "We're not going to try to convince peopleto use it for the sake of using it. We'll wait until we see evidence that
people are using DRM before we adopt it." Richard Hunt, Head of Broadcast Services at VT Communications: DRM not made the progress hoped for since last year. DRM has focused too much, in his view, on international cross border broadcasting whose audience is a very small percentage of the total radio audience. DRM should push more within the domestic area."I'm not terribly conversant with the finer points of the receiver market
but it's as though DRM doesn't really excite the enthusiasm of the manufacturers." DRM is still a work in progress "Your average member of the public might find it (DRM) quite difficult to use." "There's still a lot of functionality in DRM that hasn't yet been completely nailed down, like autotuning."Keen on what he calls DRM 120 not because of the mode but because it uses
spectrum already allocated to broadcasting. China interested in possibilites of DRM and putting DRM capable transmitters into their shortwave sites. "The worrying side of it iswhether perhaps they'll try and control the receivers and so control what
the population hears."The article deals with other aspects of radio development as well as DRM, well worth a read through at Borders if you don't regularly buy a copy of
the Handbook.
