Default AM IBOC: another solution in search of a problem

AM radio, as we know it is fading away - just like so many other things
we grew up with. Those days of listening to some distant radio signal
coming via the ionosphere - fading in and out like the surf on the sea
are slipping fast.

Out-of-control technology is reducing the quality of life - not
improving it. If you don't believe this just consider the fact that
you have absolutely no privacy anymore. Everything about you is in
some database somewhere. In addition to that, you can't go very many
places where you're not on camera either.

Hi Tech isn't all that great when you consider what it has become. The
demand for it isn't always there but we get it anyway. Funny thing -
most users don't really understand it, they just know they want it.

Slick marketing creates the demand and the dollar rules.
