IBOC Crock,
I predict that before 2015 every 'new' US Car and Truck
sold will have an IBOC 'Compatible' "HD" AM/FM Radios as
'basic' OEM Factory Installed Standard Equipment.
-while- Satellite Radio will still be an 'option' on many.
# 1 - The "Free" Over-the-Air AM/FM Radio Broadcasters and
Advertisers will want Demand-It* to stay competitive in the
Market Place with the 'New-Media'
* Reason/Justification - In the Public Interest.
# 2 - The FCC will Mandate* that all 'new' AM/FM Radios that
are made-in or imported-into the USA by about the Year
2015 {or before} be IBOC 'Compatible' "HD" AM/FM Radios.
* That's All Car and Truck AM/FM Radios
* That's All Consumer Electronics with Built-in AM/FM Radios
* That Includings All Stand-a-Lone AM/FM Radios and
AM/FM Clock-Radios
* Reason/Justification - In the Public Interest.
My Personal Top 10 Technology Radio/TV Successes . . .
1 - AM Radio
2 - Shortwave Radio
3 - FM Radio
4 - TV
* 5 - Combining an 'AM & FM Radio' in One Box
6 - FM Stereo Radio
7 - Color TV
8 - Cable TV
9 - Satellite TV
10 - HDTV

Satrad is STANDARD on many vehicles, including FORD. Sync-type
products will have pushed everything else out of dash by 2020. Radio
is dying, and will be insignificant by 2025 - too bad, iBiquity forgot
to think about that, or realize that no one buys radios anymore. Gen Y
listens to iPods, and radio is not even on their radar.- Hide quoted text -

Real Super-Radios Last Forever On One Set of Batteries.
-while- Clephones and iPods that are used for Several
Hours a Day 'require' a Daily Battery Recharge.
