1) Economically: You buy the box for $9,000. You own it. No license fees. 
Ever.
2) Technically: The DRM signal runs in the SCA subcarrier region of your 
existing carrier. It hooks-up just like an SCA generator(s) There is no need for 
a 
second transmitter, no diplexing issues, no "stomping on your 
neighbors".

Are you sure you are not confusing DRM with DRE?  Now, I am not sure whether or not DRE uses DRM protocols on subcarriers, but DRM is being used on the main carrier, primarily on SW but some MW experimentation seems to be taking place in various countries, and IIRC it is now being considered for use on VHF.
