radio, WorldDAB is fundamental for the long-term

WorldDAB is a centre of expertise, information and
resource for countries who are looking to explore a
digital future. It’s a linkage mechanism for putting
people from a country that is interested in policy,
political settings or how to lobby, in touch with people
like me who have done that for our own rollout, or
putting countries and regulators in touch with each
other. It’s the link that makes digital radio happen.
