That can occur well before the company is profitable and only requires a perception of value. iBiquity has nearly all the viable AM and FM stations in the top 100 markets on board. If the market improves, they could probably do a very profitable LBO immediately. Let's not forget how Peter Ferrera spouted off that HD Radio would appear in Apple products: "Radio on the iPod? Only if it's Internet Radio" "He said (with a straight face) that Apple had no immediate plans for a 'radio-type' function on its players because "Steve considers traditional radio to be a an old technology and he doesn't want to 'taint' his cutting edge technology. How about Internet radio? That's a different story" my contact stated!" http://www.hear2.com/2007/11/radio-on-the-ip.html Here is one of Ferrera's most-famous quotes: "...I can tell you that 30 different product lines of automobiles will have HD Radio as optional or standard equipment by the 2008 model year." - Your whole industry is full-of-****!

Why do you object to wireless? A cellular connection would have horrible audio quality, and so would a phone line connection. In five years it's going to be hard to find a direct, wired connection between a computer and anything else. And you know what? When internet radio finally takes hold, some of the big threats to our AM spectrum that we fret about today will be squashed like bugs. Then you can enjoy your over the air AM radio under nice, quiet conditions again. You of all people ought to be thanking the producers of internet radio. |
