Only if high speed ADCs become cheaper and have less problems with
internally generated spurious signals. Then the only other problem becomes
enough memory to process in near real time the data being generated by
signal from DC to Daylight.

Receivers of the future will be digital signal processors from the antenna
onwards.

Don't worry. It will be here. Ultimately AM, SSB, FM and Morse will fall
into disuse and all communication will be via wideband, frequency-hopping
digital transmissions.

China is now wide awake. 15% increase in GNP per annum. Band plans -
phooey!
