Oh, thos iBoc folks..............I called them about a year ago, asking them
about their system. When they explained the virtues of their system, and
what a good deal it was, I asked them how they were going to handle the
multipath effects of evening propagation. I also explained to them that I
didn't thing it was such a good for people to actually have to pay money out
of their own pockets for a system that actually takes three channels of
spectrum space for one of their transmissions.
They never did respond to my e-mail. I guess they didn't have an answer.
Might have been too busy paying Vicki Stearn.

Interesting article about High Definition radio. The article ends with the
following quote: "...eventually, stations will broadcast only digitally --
Stearn says that point probably won't be reached for 15 years -- and every
radio you now own will become a useless relic that you'll try to unload on
eBay."

Before you start selling all your analog radios, please understand that
the speaker of the quote was Vicki Stearn, a spokesman for iBiquity, whose
future depends upon HD radio becoming popular.

My guess is that analog radio will outlive iBiquity.
