IBOCcrock,
You Don't Get It ! - The Automakers are using "HD-Radio"
as a Premium Option on the High-End "Status" Cars and
Trunks. �Because they believe that "HD-Radio" confirs
"Status" and will Help-to-Sell New Cars and Trucks.
STATUS = New + Innovative + Interesting = Sales !
Yes the Automakers are Using "HD-Radio" for any
and all the Free Publicity that they can get from the
HD-Radio Alliance.
-ps- The Automakers make Premium Money on Each
Premium Option : It is only incidental that this Premium
Option is an "HD-Radio".
This simply follows a Tried-and-True Marketing Scheme
that has been used forever by the Automakers : They
use something that they consider "New + Innovative +
Interesting" as a Premium Option on the High-End
"Status" Cars and Trunks for 1~3 Years.
Next the Automakers will make "HD-Radio"a Standard
Feature on those High-End "Status" Cars and Trunks;
and a Premium Option on their 'other' Vehicles for
another 1~3 Years.
-ps- The Automakers make make Money on Each Standard
Feature inclued in the New Higher Price of the New and
Better Car and Truck even when that Feature is an "HD-Radio"
Plus The Automakers will be making much more Premium
Money on Each Premium Option Sold : It is only incidental
that this Premium Option is an "HD-Radio".
Then with another for 1~3 Years the Automakers make
"HD-Radio" a Standard Feature on all Cars and Trucks.
-ps- The Automakers make make even more Money on
Each Standard Feature inclued in the New Higher Price
of All the New and Better Car and Truck even when that
Feature is an "HD-Radio".
HD-Radio and the Implementation of Technological Change :
[ Begins in the American Car and Truck ]
The most direct path to the vast majority of "Free" Over-the-Air
AM/FM Radio Listeners has always been -via- the Radios
in their Cars and Trucks. �What Happens Audio Wise in
the Cars and Trucks follows-through in the Home and
Office; again with-in 1~3 Years.
Do-the-Math : 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 Years which is about a Decade.
The vast majority of new Cars and Trucks will have a new
"HD-Radio" in them and many used �Cars and Trucks will
have a new "HD-Radio" in them too.
+ Add-in another 3 Years and in little over a Decade the
vast majority of American Homes and Offices will have a
new "HD-Radio" in them too.
Don't have to Like or Hate "HD-Radio" to understand the
Path of Change and Trends that 'cause' Change to Occur.

"DEAD AIR: Radio's Great Leap Forward stalling in the Valley"
"Nearly two years after the Valley's four Clear Channel stations went
HD, several high-end car manufacturers have promised to offer HD
radios as an option on new models. But while Ford announced in
September that it offers the radios as dealer-installed upgrades -- as
have Mini, Volvo, Jaguar and BMW -- local Ford and Lincoln dealers had
not heard of HD and said they don't offer the option."
http://www.themonitor.com/news/radio...ml/digital_new....
"Are Ford and HD Radio in Sync?"
"The radio industry will, of course, promote Ford for free in exchange
for this development as part of the presumably soon-to-expire pledge
of airtime to the HD radio effort."
http://www.hear2.com/2007/09/are-ford-and-hd.html
Look what Ford pulled - Mercedes sales are down, and just like every
one else, they are using HD Radio for free publicity.- Hide quoted text -
