iBiquity is well financed, and radio has invested over $200 million just
in
hardware already.

It will never catch on. There are about 200 million car radios
out there who can't rx the digital signal and you would be hard
pressed to find 1000 people who would toss their car radios
just to be able to get the IB signal. Just like Siruis and XM
this to is destined for the scrap heap in a Year's or 2's time at best.

First, less than a third of radio listening is done in the car. Second, new
cars are sold every year, and there are aftermarket radios and add-ons that
will eventually contribute to the penetration of HD, especially since the
HD2 channels are free and can only be had with an HD radio.


My dad and step mom just bought a new Honda Element with XM radio.
They weren't interested in IBOC, and the dealer couldn't talk them into
it. If a car salesman can't sell something. it says a lot.
