Just stumbled upon the fact that Germany and Switzerland have said 'No' to the idea of DAB in their countries. They're not willing to invest in switching over from FM/AM in the same way the UK has...apparently.
Now, I'm no DAB expert, but having a powerhouse like Germany and a financial stronghold like Switzerland supporting the technology be better than them not, wouldn't it?
Someone will fill me in, I hope, because there must be another side to this than I can see.

**UPDATE**
Thanks to the two knowledgeable experts who got in touch to set me straight. Appreciate the info.
