The future for DAB in Sweden is currently looking positive. A report by Stelacon for the Swedish government shows an unbiased review of various standards and why DAB is a more suitable standard for the Swedish market it concluded that DAB would reduce the cost per capita of the transmission network. The government gave the task of investigating the future of digital radio in Sweden to the Swedish Radio and TV Authority (RTVV) who commissioned Stelacon to write this report. Two out of three reports have been finalised and the last report is due for submission on 30th of June 2008 at the latest. The Swedish government will probably make a decision after this during the second half 2008. The digital license for the Public Service broadcaster, Sveriges Radio (SR) has now been reissued for the next three years although licenses for commercial broadcasters still remain an unsolved issue.
