Mexico Says Hang on a Minute!

Mexico wants U.S. radio regulators to re-think their decision to allow
AMs to go IBOC at night and FMs to operate on the extended hybrid
digital carriers.

Our neighbors to the south say they are not happy the FCC authorized its
recent "final" IBOC rules governing broadcast transmissions without
first coordinating those through international treaties.

In a letter to Chairman Martin filed in the IBOC docket, the Mexican
Federal Telecommunications Commission, which regulates communications in
Mexico, states that "until technical criteria" have been established
between the agencies to allow "optimal and efficient development of
analog and digital radio broadcasting along our common border," the
commission should hold off on the two points made earlier.

Sources tell me they believe Mexico filed the letter so it would have
standing in any proceeding on IBOC and to have a way to adjudicate
interference claims for the border area. Indeed, the group also refers
to possible interference from U.S. IBOC stations to Mexican stations as
a reason to have the coordination completed according to treaties first.

The FCC handles coordination with the State Department, so perhaps the
timing isn't all up to the FCC.

Interesting development. As we recently reported, Mexico has agreed in
principle to allow border stations to use FM IBOC, and that decision
needs to be finalized and printed in Mexico's version of the Federal
Register.

In case this is any indication of the accuracy of the report, you should
know that the SCT, Secretariat of Communications and Transportation
regulates communications and many infrastructure issues in Mexico.

I've decided to coin a new term describing a "belief in failed technology"... I'm
calling it "Frackeltonian Thinking" in honour of 'Eduardo', head Univision shill for
HD/IBOC.

Mexico can take a Flying Jump too, for all I care.Mexico City is Sinking
and the sooner the better.There is an old underground drainage system
under Mexico City that might soon let go and swamp the City with about
thirty feet deep of nasty filthy dirty water.

Couldn't resist the insult, could you, Bozo? Your first reply to him was
actually civil in tone. Did the alcohol kick in or is the non existent
Miami genes acting up?


Awaiting your very predictable insult towards Canada...

The fact is that more an more stations are adding HD, and it has actually
been authorized for use in Mexico, where multiple stations are on the air.

I'm not surprised that Mexico is exhibiting all the characteristics of
"Frackeltonian Thinking".

That's what I was wondering. But then again, can you imagine the mess
that would happen should a super-powered station like XERF/Ciudad
Acuña or XETRA/Rosarito were running IBOC? Yikes!
