Actually, your denials to the contrary, it is.
Your first hint that it had no validity should have been "an

"An anonymous source..." is the beginning about half of all news
stories.
"Deep Throat," who brought down the Nixon administration, was an
'anonymous source.'
There's not a police department in the world that doesn't have an
'anonymous source' program for gathering active crime information
within their jurisdictions, including the FBI.
Anonymity doesn't preclude validity. It only means that the
source doesn't want to face censure, persecution or litigation as a
result of speaking out.
And if you ask engineers working with iBiquity products, off the
record, you'll get a LOT of information about iBiquity's threats
against those who speak out against their IBOC system.
You know, Brother, quality products neither need, nor benefit
from, enforced silence. And if what iBiquity was claiming for their
system were true, they would not have written gag clauses into their
contracts threatening dissenting engineers with litigation for
speaking out about interference, audio quality or coverage.
The very fact that these clauses were written into the contracts
underscores that fact that iBiquity knew that what they were
claiming was untrue. And that they knew it from the outset.
Struble sits atop a phenomenally lucrative scam. And the public
bears the burden of his hubris with inferiour performance, poorer
audio quality, and spotty coverage with frequent dropouts.
Which makes suspect your motives for so shamelessly shilling for
this fraud.
Peter,
You certainly have figured out this fraud. I too have read stories on
the Web about iBiquity threatening enginers that speak out against HD
Radio. One broadcaster said iBiquity "mildly threatenened" him to
convert. I believe iBiquity has this as a "best-practices" clause in
their contracts. This should have been a huge red-flag to stations
that have converted. Of cource, if iBiquity's product was any good,
this clause would have never appeared. I do hope that Keefe Bartels
and Galax Wolf make good progress with their investigations, as class-
actions would certainly derail Struble and his minions. The degree of
this fraud would make Bernie Madoff blush, and probably jealous.
Automakers are receiving nothing but complaints about HD Radio. I
believe that HD Radio will eventually implode, but iBiquity is
probably hoping for an IPO before the truth finally comes out. There
will be no mandate for HD Radio, because there are no reclamation
needs of spectrum, as there was for digital TV. So, iBiquity is
threatening all of those stations that have turned off IBOC?
Interesting, but not surprising...
Notice that SMS derailed this thread from appearing in
alt.radio.digital and rec.radio.shortwave.
Imagine my surprise.
