Broadcasting in Singapore is regulated by the Media Development Authority (MDA). For DAB Digital Radio, there are three different licences for three different categories; there is a DAB Multiplex Licence (eight years) where operators are required to carry at least five audio services on each multiplex but can allocate 35% of the multiplex to data services. The second category is a DAB Broadcaster Service Licence (five years) for content providers, which incorporates programme and advertising guidelines issued in the analogue world. Finally, there is the Class Licence (no stipulated licence period), which covers a range of data and multimedia services supported by DAB. The MDA has adopted a self-regulatory approach, and there is no need for service operators to approach the MDA for approval to start a data service.
