Default US Broadcasters Missed the Digital Boat 20 Years Ago

They could have built a Eureka 347 type system where everybody has an
equal signal (and the idea of that killed the deal). Than along came
Sirius and XM and suddenly the dinocasters want to ''compete'' with a
horribly bad digital scheme that no one else in the world wants
anything to do with.

Why? So they could have lousy-sounding audio like the European
DAB??? (Caused by using an old MP2 codec at only 128 kbit/s.)
