Streaming audio certainly isn't DX, but I fully support Wimax and
internet radio because (1) they're going send HD radio into the
dustbin and (2) they don't destroy a huge swath of spectrum. Perhaps
after Wimax results in the commercial death of HD radio we'll get to
see something truly new and truly interesting pop up on MW.


At that point, there will not be AM... the spectrum will be used for
something important, like radio controlled plastic cars from Radio Shack.

The 1MHz AMBCB spectrum is pretty much useless for anything BUT
broadcasting. The very long wavelengths are not usable for things like
telephones, R/C, etc., which need the short wavelengths and their
corresponding short antennae for portability. It took mid-UHF frequencies to
begin to make cellular phones viable.
