Waste of time. Terrestrial radio should be returned to the people so
they can have unbiased news and public affairs. Something to counter
the propaganda on big media.

I think that would be best served by lots of small community stations.
We have some of those over here in the UK, on the FM band. However DRM+
would allow more such stations to fin into the FM band, as it uses a
narrower bandwidth than FM, and can work at lower signal levels.

But you can't build a DRM receiver for a dollar. In the USA there are 2
or 3 radios per citizen.

There was a good explanation of this over at
