Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2006: Committee Stage

 

1:00 pm

Michael Finucane (Fine Gael)

Yesterday, I attended a presentation on DRM. It appeared to be an effective signal as it was shown projecting clearly from Portugal to Cyprus. With DAB, a signal can fail if one passes underneath a bridge. I am not an expert and this is new technology to me, but I would not like RTE to have an initial bias in favour of DAB without having considered the other option if it is more effective. Ex-RTE employees are promoting DRM and have tried explaining it to RTE.
