The Namibia Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) held a conference in early March 2002 to look into digital broadcasting for radio and television. As a result of the conference, greater and on-going co-operation between SABA (Southern Africa Broadcasting Association) and SADIBA (Southern African Digital Broadcasting Association) has been planned. While the immediate emphasis has been on Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), which was launched in Namibia in February 2005, broadcasters are equally interested in DAB Digital Radio. A number of digital radio test broadcasts have been conducted in South Africa.
