"Pioneer Says No Thanks To HD Radio"
"Pioneer has thrown their opinion into the ring regarding the
proposed
merger between Sirius and XM. While not taking an official position
on
the merger, Pioneer did express concerns over an Ibiquity proposal
that would call for inclusion of HD radio chipsets into all SDARS
receivers. Pioneer raised several concerns about the limits that an
idea such as Ibiqitys would have, and further stated that it should
be a free marketplace that determines the success or failure of HD
radio, and not government regulation. Interestingly, Pioneer made no
mention of the open access condition proposed by some consumer groups
as well as U.S. Electronics."

****ed because they got burned by HD Radio.
