If anything, DAB will be the one that's switched off. The expected market revenue that DAB was meant to have generated has proved to not be there; you can't sell advertising on a station no-one listens to. And the sound quality, a tradeoff as a result of transmitting too many low rent stations with poor quality audio using the MP2 codec (from 1986!) means it's actually a tradeoff.
Internet radio will be the death of DAB.

Won't happen, mainly because of cars. DAB is a pain in cars as the signal reflects off things really badly. A passing lorry can cause all sorts of strange interference. It just simply will not happen, I'm sure of it.
