The study involves • Reviewing previous approaches used to estimate opportunity costs for the UHF TV spectrum • Identifying bands used by radio and TV broadcasting to which AIP might be applied • Considering whether AIP should be applied to spectrum used by broadcasting using a forward looking analysis • Providing a methodology for the calculation of opportunity cost, and so AIP, for broadcasting spectrum, including an analysis

    DeliveryDelivery specifications specifications Radio. 2021Radio. 2021 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Talpa Network Media Solutions has high demands on the sound quality of the programs for its radio stations 538, SLAM!, 100% NL, Sublime, Radio 10, Radio Veronica, Sky Radio and Classicnl. This applies to music but also to commercials. Talpa Network Media Solutions uses EAR for optimal monitoring and processing of the commercials. Commercials should be delivered digitally through EAR. More information can be found at www.ear.nu . LENGTH OF RADIO COMMERCIALS Radio commercials with a length of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 seconds are acceptable. Deviating lengths are rounded up to a multiple of 5 seconds. The length of the radio commercials will be measured in seconds from the first moment of audio. Example: Audio with a length of 10,00 seconds will be booked as a 10 second commercial; Audio with a length of 10,01 seconds will be booked as a 15 second commercial. AUDIO REGISTRATION Silence in a radio commercial may not exceed 3 seconds. If the commercial has been recorded in mono then it will be necessary to offer that commercial on two channels. Both channels must contain an identical signal and must be of the same sound level (sound effects excluded). AUDIO FILE The supplied audio file must meet the following specifications: • Linear WAV file • 48 kHz (other sample frequencies will not be accepted) • 16 Bit Stereo LEVEL The maximum (peak) noise in the audio file may not exceed -6 dBfs related to 0 dBfs (full scale).

  • Chapter 4, Current Status, Knowledge Gaps, and Research Needs Pertaining to Firefighter Radio Communication Systems
    NIOSH Firefighter Radio Communications CHAPTER IV: STRUCTURE COMMUNICATIONS ISSUES Buildings and other structures pose difficult problems for wireless (radio) communications. Whether communication is via hand-held radio or personal cellular phone, communications to, from, and within structures can degrade depending on a variety of factors. These factors include multipath effects, reflection from coated exterior glass, non-line-of-sight path loss, and signal absorption in the building construction materials, among others. The communications problems may be compounded by lack of a repeater to amplify and retransmit the signal or by poor placement of the repeater. RF propagation in structures can be so poor that there may be areas where the signal is virtually nonexistent, rendering radio communication impossible. Those who design and select firefighter communications systems cannot dictate what building materials or methods are used in structures, but they can conduct research and select the radio system designs and deployments that provide significantly improved radio communications in this extremely difficult environment.4 Communication Problems Inherent in Structures MULTIPATH Multipath fading and noise is a major cause of poor radio performance. Multipath is a phenomenon that results from the fact that a transmitted signal does not arrive at the receiver solely from a single straight line-of-sight path. Because there are obstacles in the path of a transmitted radio signal, the signal may be reflected multiple times and in multiple paths, and arrive at the receiver from various directions along various paths, with various signal strengths per path. In fact, a radio signal received by a firefighter within a building is rarely a signal that traveled directly by line of sight from the transmitter.

  • Fcc and Am Stereo: a Deregulatory Breach of Duty
    THE FCC AND AM STEREO: A DEREGULATORY BREACH OF DUTY JASON B. MEYERt The trend toward governmental deregulation of private enterprise, which began in earnest in the 1970's1 and has gathered momentum under the Reagan administration, has had a significant effect on the telecommunications industry. The Federal Communications Commis- sion (FCC) has reduced regulation of operation and maintenance log- ging2 and eliminated minimum aural transmission power require- ments.' Similarly, a major effort has been made in Congress to enact a bill deregulating broadcast programming.4 In 1984 the FCC justified eliminating or relaxing many licensing requirements on the grounds that such "actions further the Commission's goals of creating, to the maximum extent possible, an unregulated, competitive environment for t A.B. 1980, Princeton University; J.D.

  • RADIO's DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING in the 21St
    RADIO’S DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING IN THE 21st CENTURY BY JOHN NATHAN ANDERSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Associate Professor Michelle Renee Nelson Associate Professor Christian Edward Sandvig Professor Daniel Toby Schiller ii ABSTRACT The interaction of policy and technological development in the era of “convergence” is messy and fraught with contradictions. The best expression of this condition is found in the story behind the development and proliferation of digital audio broadcasting (DAB). Radio is the last of the traditional mass media to navigate the convergence phenomenon; convergence itself has an inherently disruptive effect on traditional media forms. However, in the case of radio, this disruption is mostly self-induced through the cultivation of communications policies which thwart innovation. A dramaturgical analysis of digital radio’s technological and policy development reveals that the industry’s preferred mode of navigating the convergence phenomenon is not designed to provide the medium with a realistically useful path into a 21st century convergent media environment. Instead, the diffusion of “HD Radio” is a blocking mechanism proffered to impede new competition in the terrestrial radio space. HD Radio has several critical shortfalls: it causes interference and degradation to existing analog radio signals; does not have the capability to actually advance the utility of radio beyond extant quality/performance metrics; and is a wholly proprietary technology from transmission to reception.

    Openbaar Advies inzake voorgenomen veiling DAB+- frequentieruimte Ons kenmerk : ACM/UIT/528911 Zaaknummer : ACM/19/038156 Datum : 12 mei 2020 Advies van de Autoriteit Consument en Markt aan het ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat ten behoeve van de veiling van frequentieruimte voor digitale radio (DAB+). 1 Inleiding 1.1 Aanleiding Het ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat (hierna: het ministerie) heeft de Autoriteit Consument en Markt (hierna: ACM) verzocht1 om advies uit te brengen in verband met de door het ministerie voorgenomen veiling van frequentieruimte in laag 7 van het spectrum2 bestemd voor digitale etherradio (DAB+). Laag 7 is een landelijk dekkende spectrumlaag en is om die reden bestemd voor landelijke commerciële radio. De veiling is gepland voor eind 2020.3 Het verzoek van het ministerie aan de ACM is om te adviseren over eventuele voorzieningen die getroffen moeten worden bij de voorgenomen veiling ter waarborging of stimulering van de mededinging. Meer specifiek heeft het ministerie de ACM de volgende vragen voorgelegd: 1. Wat is de huidige concurrentiesituatie en hoe verwacht u dat die situatie zich in de komende (2 tot 3) jaar gaat ontwikkelen op de relevante markten waarop radio-omroepen actief zijn en (voor)ziet de ACM mededingingsrechtelijke bezwaren in het licht van de voorgenomen frequentieveiling van laag 7? 2. Indien er sprake is (of zal zijn) van mededingingsrechtelijke bezwaren, adviseert de ACM dan interventies, en zo ja welke, om de mededingingsrechtelijke bezwaren weg te nemen (waarbij voorbeelden

It particularly examines the standard chosen for Australia, the Eureka 147 standard (known also as Digital Audio Broadcasting or DAB). • The paper also traces the development of digital radio policy in Australia and considers issues which may affect the future of the technology.
