Australia ranks fourth for cumulative DAB+ digital radio sales, with an impressive 4,444,000 units entering the market since 2008, bolstered by the 60% of new cars sold here which have DAB+ receivers, and the 4800km of roads on which they can receive signals. But the figures from World DAB show that our coverage is not growing much — from 63% of the population in 2013, it has risen only to 65%, since it is limited to five metropolit­an areas. Norway remains the only country to have turned off FM entirely, with the UK and Switzerlan­d both reviewing the possibilit­y.
