 PR> DAB?  You mean the German beer that comes in a 5-liter mini-keg?  :)
 JK> Also available in bottles, cans, etc.
 PR> Seriously, tell me more.  How will DAB be distributed?  Over the air,
 PR> satellite, CATV, or maybe all of the above?  Is this related to the
 PR> Digital TV we're supposed to convert to in a few years?
 JK> DAB is intended for terrestrial broadcast ("over the air"). It is not

OK, so this is sent over a carrier on conventional FM?  Sounds like it'd be
simple enough to implement.
 JK> I have no idea about the situation in the USA, but as far as I know,
 JK> the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) refuses the
 JK> introduction of DAB in the USA. Apparently because of internal
 JK> political reasons, they have admitted the technical superiority of
 JK> DAB.
I'd suspect ASCAP has something to do with it.  Any time audio is distributed
in a digital format, ASCAP worries about piracy.
