Interim ICTSB response |
|---|---|
| 1. DAB receivers should be compatible with all DAB regions in Europe; | Should a standards require this? |
| 2. Set-top DAB receivers should meet hi-fi quality standards; | Like all products, it should comply with what it does claim for. |
| 3. Car or portable DAB receivers should meet certain technical quality standards, particularly in terms of power consumption and radio frequency sensitivity; | "Certain"
quality standards means that it is somewhat uncertain what
ANEC wants. |
| 4. The quality of broadcasts should meet minimum quality standards or a quality rating - based on broadcast data rate and number of channels - should be indicated to consumers so that they can make comparative judgments regarding the quality of different broadcasters; | What
type of quality is here addressed? |
| 5. Additional text-based information accompanying DAB broadcasts should be accurate and meet quality standards (traffic announcements, radio text news, programme information text). | Content
quality is not in the scope of standardization. |
