New Zealand will debate whether its long-standing DAB trial will be extended beyond its current deadline of 30 June 2018. Operator Kordia states that DAB can be implemented across the country for NZD 10m, and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage will now make a recommendation to Broadcasting Minister Clare Curran.
Digital radio services were introduced in New Zealand on a trial basis in two cities. These trials have been licensed by the MInistry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), but as yet there has been no requirement to develop wider policies concerning digital radio services.
New Zealand’s government owned broadcast and telecoms company, Kordia, has been operating a DAB test service in Auckland and Wellington since October 2006 with two transmitters operating in Band III. The multiplex currently delivers a mix of DAB and DAB+ services, including eight audio channels.
