Why ORF is very radically opposed to DAB+? What will be possible consequences? Truths about e-radio weaknesses

When Austria has already decided on the choice of a standard digital radio. Then selected DAB+ as digital radio standard. There was an extremely fierce criticism from Alexander Wrabetz, General Director of ORF which is serving uniterruptible since 2007 which claims that future of radio is only on Internet and the mobile devices, so ORF strongly boycotts DAB+ which according to Wrabetz, it wasn't successful in many European countries. In my opinion, Wrabetz opinions are completely lying and hypocritical. Nevertheless, radio channels of ORF such as Oe1, Radio Tirol, Hitradio Oe3 and FM4 are broadcast on DAB+ on the RAS network in South Tirol, Italy and can be also received in the Italian-Austrian border area.
