Norway - Current situation - History

26.08.2008

There are currently two national DAB multiplexes, one of which is split into seven regions. The coverage is now more than 80% with a household penetration of around 15%. At the end of 2007 DAB coverage expanded in Norway to offer more than twice the number of FM programmes to many rural areas. The networks carry 14 radio channels and EPG. Eight channels are DAB-exclusive, and DAB is already established in more than 20 road tunnels. The media authorities are about to call for applicants to fill additional capacity with new offerings.

DMB services are expected to launch in winter 2008, now that the three biggest broadcasters in Norway: NRK, TV 2 and MTG, have set up their own company to focus on launching mobile TV via DMB.
