U.K. media regulator Ofcom said 100 small-scale DAB digital multiplexes have now been launched nationally under a program that began about four years ago. “Small-scale DAB provides a low-cost way for local commercial, community and specialist music services to take to the digital airwaves,” it said. ExeDAB, serving East Devon, is number 100. It is run by commercial station Radio Exe and community broadcaster Phonic FM. “It brings a variety of additional digital radio services to the towns of Honiton and Sidmouth, including Devoncast Radio and Sid Valley Radio.” Ofcom quoted its Director of Broadcast Licensing and Program Operations Paul Mercer saying the launch “marks another major milestone meaning that even more listeners can benefit from local, diverse content, as well as boosting the local economy.” Ofcom has also awarded small-scale DAB multiplex licenses to serve Armagh, Derby, Guildford, Woking, Weymouth, Dorchester and Bridport. And it said it is consulting on a request by TorDAB Ltd. to change the area to be served by the Torbay small-scale radio multiplex service.

- Who Cares If AI Brings Down the Economy?
The tech billionaire Hemant Taneja admits that AI is a bubble. In fact, he welcomes it: “Bubbles are good,” Taneja, the CEO of General Catalyst, a venture-capital firm, told me in an email. If AI comes crashing down, it will lead to “some spectacular failures,” he said—companies will go under and people will lose their jobs—but that’s a price worth paying for “enduring companies that change the world forever.”His view is widespread in Silicon Valley. Some, such as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, reject the notion that their companies are overvalued. But many of the wealthiest and most powerful people in tech are embracing the idea of an AI bubble. Jeff Bezos has argued that AI might be a “good” kind of bubble. Sam Altman has made similar comments, predicting that AI will be a “huge net win for the economy” even if “a phenomenal amount of money” is lost along the way.Indeed, a phenomenal amount of money is at stake: OpenAI, which is still far from profitable, is currently worth more than Toyota, Coca-Cola, and Disney combined. This year, Big Tech plans to spend some $650 billion on the AI build-out—a sum that far exceeds the GDP of most countries. Investors are banking that AI will spur a productivity boom and deliver unimaginable corporate profits, but that future could be far off. If the spending dries up first, the bubble could pop—perhaps dragging the rest of the economy down with it. Nonetheless, Silicon Valley thinks that the present mania will eventually pay back its returns through scientific discovery and economic growth. “Stop trying to make bubbles go away,” as the entrepreneur James Thomason recently wrote. “The benefits of innovation outweigh the costs of volatility.” In other words: Be grateful for the bubble.[Read: Here’s how the AI crash happens]Silicon Valley did not invent the idea that bubbles can be worth the pain. Various economists have made the argument for decades. But as the AI boom has exploded, a book by two investors, Tobias Huber and Byrne Hobart, has helped formalize tech’s pro-bubble ideology. Boom: Bubbles and the End of Stagnation was a hit in Silicon Valley when it came out in 2024, praised by the tech billionaires Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen.The authors argue that there are essentially two kinds of bubbles: good ones (dot-com, the railroads) and bad ones (the 2008 housing crisis). Both cause damage when they burst, but… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 days ago
