The vast country of India with its population of over one billion people, has considered several variations of digital radio over the past decade. All India Radio (AIR), the public broadcaster, started trial DAB broadcasts in New Delhi in late 1997, and have also tested mobile TV broadcasts using T-DMB and S-DMB but was unable to progress to permanent broadcasts due to regulatory issues.
The challenge for India is to ensure that any new digital technologies have receiver prices at a realistic level for the price-sensitive Indian consumer.
