For the government in general - and for the Ministry of Economic Affairs in particular - it is crucial to be well informed about the expected developments regarding DAB+. This enables the government to justify its current policies and determine which initiatives it needs to undertake. Based on the results of this research, the Ministry aims to gain insights into the impact of the transition to digital radio for the listener. The focus is on the additional costs, the expenses a consumer incurs to purchase a DAB+ radio. The outcomes of the research should also contribute to the 'model formation' that will allow the Ministry to monitor DAB+ usage in the near future.
Specifically, this research addresses the following two questions:
What are the expected additional costs for a DAB+ receiver for listeners who voluntarily switch to DAB+?
What are the expected additional costs for a DAB+ receiver for listeners in the event of a shutdown of analogue terrestrial radio?
