But after the fiasco of the last auction of chunks of the radio spectrum (er, probably not the right words) I’d be surprised if the mobile companies would be so willing to punt millions in the government’s direction.

I hope it’s ten years off, at least - I’m not prepared to face a world without ‘proper’ radio. Listening to the cricket without LW crackle and pop just wouldn’t be right, for one thing…

It’s got to be at least 10 years off though, don’t you think?
