DAB is digital audio broadcasting. This has been operational for a couple of years in europe - you get multiple MPEG2 encoded streams, at up to 320kbit, at home/in car/etc.

Problem is, the receivers are expensive. They started out at around $6000, and are now down to about $750 for a trunk mounted addon for an existing head unit (eg, Pioneer do one).

This isn't the american DAB, which isn't out yet.
