ibiquity AM hybrid digital radio provides little consumer benefits

With no standard chosen, there was no impetus for the public to buy one
standard over another, nor impetus for manufacturers to start making one
standard over another....in any real sense.
The impetus would have been the desirability to upgrade to stereo. A
person
would buy a radio to match the system broadcast by a favorite station or
stations.
Somebody with different favorites would have to buy different radios or a
multimode radio.
Such are the sacrifices we make for the things we really like.
All anyone had to do was buy a Sony radio.. they received all the systems,
and had damn fine sound.
