We want to award frequencies for commercial DAB+ multiplexes this year, confirms CTU

The Czech Telecommunications Office plans to continue to grant frequency allocations this year so that telecommunications operators can start operating proper commercial DAB+ multiplexes. "There will be eight layers of frequencies - two commercial nationwide and 27 regional networks," said Jiří Duchač, director of the Czech Telecommunications Office's Frequency Spectrum Management Department. Duchač also reiterated that the CTU's goal is to launch the tender as soon as possible so that DAB still has a chance to succeed with listeners. "It will be an opportunity for both old and new operators. The conditions cannot favour any of the participants," he pointed out.
