Default AM IBOC does more harm than good


True to all Neo-Kommie Liberals, never are
the facts to be revealed:

Here comes Edweeeeeeenie ! :-)


"To date, almost 1,400 FM stations have licensed the Ibiquity standard. The
majority of those are on the air; and according to estimates from Ibiquity
and the alliance, the number of stations multicasting is near or more than
500 (estimates vary)."
....
"The marketplace is heavy with hi-fi audio entertainment and information
delivery systems. FM, satellite, iPods, MP3 players and the Internet have
stolen much of AM radio's potential audience. There is no public demand for
another radio band to be created to "save" AM and added to the busy array of
choices."
....
"The Canadian DOC reportedly is considering adopting the Ibiquity format for
FM but not for AM; Digital Radio Mondiale may be its AM choice. Ibiquity
should take a long look at this development and seriously consider
incorporating DRM into its AM system to make it more flexible and scalable.
DRM could well become a more worthy option for AM stations and their digital
future."

"Regardless, developments in and around digital radio for AM are raising
pressing concerns."

Soon, analog AM will die just like shortwave.
