"iBiquity signals the end of NAB's satellite radio merger opposition"

"This is, in other words, a Hail Mary pass designed to achieve an 'if
we can't beat em, join em' outcome. This is the best indication yet
that HD Radio's progress with the Detroit automakers is in trouble,
folks... If iBiquity's argument was to compel the FCC - and I really
doubt it will - it would be a smart and easy way to introduce HD radio
to tons of new cars as standard equipment, by piggybacking off the
blood, sweat, tears, deals, and dollars of the satellite radio
industry. Nice try, but don't count on it."
