A major network "overhaul" was done in the French speaking part of Switzerland at the end of February 2007, which increased coverage of the French speaking population from 60% to about 75%. New transmitters are currently being put up all over Switzerland almost every week. There are between 30,000 and 50,000 accumulative sales by the end of 2006 in Switzerland. These figures are expected to increase as a recent poll by Radio Swiss Jazz showed an increase in DAB listening from 3% to 11% from 2005 to 2006. This is an increase of almost 300% within one year!
