The Ministry of Information and Communication is set to launch a committee to accelerate the application of digital technologies to the nation's radio broadcast system.

"Under the current analogue system, newcomers can hardly find available frequency resources. Frequencies have almost been used up, and that's one of the reasons why we are trying to digitalize the whole radio broadcast system."

Adopting IBOC will not require the hassle of changing radio sets across the nation to new ones. However,except in its competitive edge, the U.S. technology can not be viewed as a better match ........
