HD radio won't just go away.
Despite the fact that both the AM and FM versions of HD radio are a
good example of out-of -control technology that nobody really wants, the FCC has mandated that all broadcasting will be digital. Therefore, I see no turning back regardless of what the consumer does or doesn't want or understand. The only way out of this that I see is that some entity with deep pockets poses a legal challenge to the FCC mandate. This really isn't a consumer issue but rather a big business/ government deal and will take legal action to reverse and I'm not sure it can be. Consumers don't count, surveys don't count and the number of radios sold doesn't mean anything. This is the sad truth. Since the FCC violated its own rules on radio interference and since it's in bed with iBiquity and no other systems were even considered it will be a very difficult challenge. Remember all this when it comes time to vote and consider that we are no longer represented by our elected officials but, rather, we are being controlled by them. The FCC's decision of letting the market decide was just their way of begining a full scale deployment. It's an incremental deployment. The next step will be increasing the power levels for the transmitted digital component and ibiquity is lobbying heavily for that now. Watch and see. |
