Default ibiquity AM hybrid digital radio provides little consumer benefits

Actually, people didn't care much about FM stereo, either. FM stereo
didn't
reach mass market appeal until it was almost a give-away with the radio.

That's what will happen with HD. Until it starts being included in the
next radio people will purchase, or in the next car they buy.

That $50 licensing fee for each chipset will keep a lot of people from
EVER buying an IBOC receiver.

They will get them included in a car radio they will buy in the near future.
They won't have to decide to buy one.
