Franc Kozamernik's career at the EBU tells the story of the media over the last 30 years. From satellite broadcasting, to the first demonstrations of 'DAB' digital radio, and on to the birth and development of Internet media delivery.
Founder of World DAB Forum
Franc officially retires from the EBU Technology and Development Department at the end of March 2011, though surely he will remain active in the industry. Probably Franc's greatest claim comes as the 'champion' and pathfinder of digital radio, and the founder of the collective organisation that is now WorldDMB. He was part of DAB in a distant 1988 of DAB demonstration in Geneva, Switzerland. By transitioning his speciality to Internet delivery, he did exactly what the industry itself is doing. His expertise in web and hybrid system helped with todays' most critical areas, such as peer-to-peer delivery and hybrid broadcasting. He leaves the EBU as he began, at the cutting edge of technology. | Historical signing of WorldDAB/ Eureka 147 Agreement |
