Well, let me illustrate my experience of DAB by saying this.

I listen to the radio going to and from work. With DAB, I get a bad signal on over 60% of the journey. You may argue that environmental conditions are the cause and beyond the control of the companies providing DAB. Both are true.

However, both FM and O2's data network (which is far from perfect) have to contend with the same conditions and deliver a good signal on over 90% of the journey.
