The Italian Media Authority has approved official regulations for DAB bringing an experimental phase to an end and paving the way for the creation of a successful DAB market. DAB Digital Radio licences and authorisations will be issued initially to existing FM licence holders, with remaining spectrum available for new entrants. National and local multiplexes must carry at least five radio stations each, offering a wide choice of programmes and services. The licence period for content providers is 12 years and for network operators 20 years.
