It's still not a done-deal - thje FCC left it open for the marketplace
to decide the fate of HD/IBOC - LOL !!!


No, the FCC approved HD as the only system, and rejected petitions to
reconsider from others. The marketplace will now decide how fast the

extremely good and will ahead of the initial estimates or goals from the
June 2006 launch.
