Digital Radio Moratorium.

Adoption of digital radio could go the same way as digital TV has in Australia, very slowly, if industry body Commercial Radio Australia has its way.

We understand that most people are adverse to change, but the CRA wants the Government to wait 10 years before they allow the competition to enter the digital radio market. That should be enough to stifle adoption while they take their merry time introducing new features. Gladly the Government is pushing back.
