IF Congressman Dingell gets his way and opens up Satrad receivers for
possible inclusion of HD Radio, by other manufacturers, that greed-
monger Struble may make some head-way. But, who in Hell would pay the
iBiquity licensing and HD chipset fees - would have to be iBiquity,
and they wouldn't be able to afford it. So far, Dingell is not calling
for a mandate for Satrad to include HD, as that would seem anti-
competitive. Again, hopefully it will continue to be up to the
marketplace to determine the fate of HD. The new Samsung HD chipsets
have only 2 hours of battery life, compared to Satrad's Stiletto
portable receiver, which has 30 hours.
