Nah the Problem with HD-Radio is that . . . It Is [Radio]

The problem with HD Radio is that it is encrypted. *You must have a code
to decipher it. *It is not free.

Dave,

All things Digital by virtue of being Digital are 'encrypted'.
Satellite Radio, Internet Radio, MP3, HDTV, Celfone . . .

The New HD-Radio Technology simply requires
an HD-Radio Receiver.

The Old FM Stereo Technology simply required
an FM Stereo Receiver.

The 'difference' is that in the 1960s and 1970s the Radio
Business was still alive and growing for FM Stereo to
be adopted as part of that growth. *Now in the 2000s and
2010s the Radio Business is slowly dying and and their
is little chance for HD-Radio to catch-on.
* THEN RADIO WAS THE MAJOR [ONLY] AUDIO
ENTERTAINMENT OPTION [CHOICE] PLUS TV.

Any future that HD-Radio has is with FM HD-Radio
and expanding the FM Radio Business model to
include FM HD-Radio HD-2 Channels with a second
Audio Stream and a Second Income Stream for the
Owners of the FM "HD" Radio Stations.
* TODAY RADIO IS ONE OF MANY AUDIO AND MANY
MULTI-MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS [CHOICES]

FWIW - AM/MW Radio is simply not a "Player" in the
Future of the Radio Business and the future of HD-Radio.

Once Again the Problem with HD-Radio is that . . . It Is
[Radio] {Assigned to the [Box] of other lessor thingees}
to a younger Generation of Audio Consumers; that simply
does not 'Think' Radio as a Major Audio Entertainment
