Wow, hadn't heard. I don't have a digital radio in my car. I suppose we all will in two years. Norway is kind of like Apple. They decide something and then do it, and everyone has no choice but to follow along. It can be maddening, but it's kind of admirable as well. There is a strong national will. Change comes decisively, through legislation, and folks may complain but they go with it. Result is that the country get steadily better.

I reckon a lot of folks will complain when the have to buy new car radios. But then everyone will have better radio stations. I wonder if small stations will continue to operate. Probably, but it is a small country so I would expect these stations to die off quickly.

I wonder what will be done with the open airspace.
