The media regulator in the french-speaking region of Belgium, the CSA, has launched a consultation on the future deployment of DAB+. The basis of the consultation is the "hypothetical" launch of a full service of private and public DAB+ services, broadcasting on Blocks 11B and 12B to the entire French-speaking region and on provincial multiplexes:-

Bruxelles & Brabant wallon - Block 11D
Hainaut - Block 8D
Liège - Block 5C
Namur & Luxembourg Block 5B

Closing date is October 31st 2011.

Belgium is testing DAB+. Four services have popped up on the Block 12B ensemble RTBF DAB, using different combinations of bitrates and protection levels.
