I like this plan: Since uninterrupted line of sight reception may be difficult in the urban areas, there is a need to install terrestrial repeating transmitters to rebroadcast the satellite signals in the largest metropolitan areas of intended mobile DARS markets. The company has been licensed to build networks of terrestrial repeaters in Italy, Switzerland and Germany. With this addition, the system can provide more reliable broadcast services to receivers in automobiles.[9] 1worldspace plans to start providing mobile radio and data services in Italy using a combination of satellite and terrestrial broadcasts in late 2009.[24] It has signed an agreement with Fiat, an Italian automobile manufacturer, to make radios capable of receiving the signals available to car owners.[25] Fiat plans to make such radios available as a bookable option made prior to purchasing a car.[26] If the service is a success in Italy, it's planned to make similar services available in Germany and Switzerland. 1worldspace will use ETSI Satellite Digital Radio (SDR) open standard in the new European coverage beam.[27] The receivers for the new markets will be manufactured by Delphi and will deliver a gap-free coverage to vehicles similar to that of Sirius XM Radio vehicular mobile service.
