Self-indulgent crap at it's best.

He's changing the hearts and minds of the American public as we speak,

The only people I hear who rail against IBOC are frustrated DX-ers.

DPM,

Now that is an important group of knowledgeable Radio
Professionals -but- How many $hares of their Corporate
Media $tock do they have and Vote at a $tock-Holders
Meeting to actually affect any Real Change at the
Corporated Level of these Mega Media Companies ?

The Quest for New Money {New Income Sources HD-2}
and Protecting Existing Capital Assets {Radio Stations}
of the Media Corporations is the "What" of IBOC Technology
andHD-Radio: Not Digital Technology or Improving the
Audio Product and Service to the Radio Listeners.

The Survival of "Free" Over-the-Air AM/FM Radio
is Dependant on the Blending of both;
Old Media AM/FM Radio Stations;
Coupled with New Media Inter-Active WebSiteshttp://groups.google.com/group/rec.radio.shortwave/msg/a725fb6d021ce8db

REALITY - Somewhere down-the-line the FCC will be Forced
by the Members of the US Congress -to-made- IBOCHD-Radio
the 'new' Digital Radio Broadcasting Standard; all in the name
of the Public Good toward a Digital Society.

THE TRUTH IS - �Members of the US Congress will Act
to Protect the Existing Capital Assets {Radio Stations}
of the Media Corporations and Force the FCC to make
IBOC the New Standard for All AM/FM Radios.

IBOCHD-Radio= Follow-the-Money = Politi�$

the truth is out there - riding on a radio wave ~ RHF

"Digital Audio Broadcasting Systems and Their Impact on the
Terrestrial Radio Broadcast Service"

15. We will not establish a deadline for radio stations to convert to
digital broadcasting. Stations may decide if, and when, they will
provide digital service to the public. Several reasons support this
decision. First, unlike television licensees, radio stations are under
no statutory mandate to convert to a digital format. Second, a hard
deadline is unnecessary given that DAB uses an in-band technology that
does not require the allocation of additional spectrum. Thus, the
spectrum reclamation needs that exist for DTV do not exist here.
Moreover, there is no evidence in the record that marketplace forces
cannot propel the DAB conversion forward, and effective markets tend
to provide better solutions than regulatory schemes.

16. iBiquity argues that in the early stages of the transition, the
Commission should favor and protect existing analog signals. It states
that this could be accomplished by limiting the power level and
bandwidth occupancy of the digital carriers in the hybrid mode. At
some point in the future, when the Commission determines there is
sufficient market penetration of digital receivers, iBiquity asserts
that the public interest will be best served by reversing this
presumption to favor digital operations. At that time, broadcasters
will no longer need to protect analog operations by limiting the
digital signal and stations should have the option to implement all-
digital broadcasts. We decline to adopt iBiquity's presumption policy
because it is too early in the DAB conversion process for us to
consider such a mechanism. We find that such a policy, if adopted now,
may have unknown and unintended consequences for a new technology that
has yet to be accepted by the public or widely adopted by the
broadcast industry.

Just like DAB in the UK, Canada, Australia, and Germany, HD Radio will
fail from lack of consumer interest.
