Which is the greater attraction? Better audio or more channels?


For DRM it is control of content and who can hear it.

How would DRM control content any differently than standard SW broadcasting?


Who can hear the content can be determined by the encoding. People that
don't have the "code" will not be able to hear it. Codes could be built
into the radios so that they can only decipher some broadcasts similar
to DVD players today or pay radio streams on the Internet. Besides codes
built into the radios you might have to key in more codes to hear some
broadcasts or load in a deciphering program from computer to radio
similar to pay satellite TV.

Once the ability to control who can hear worldwide broadcasts is created
what would lead you to believe it will not be used?
