iBiquty has already mentioned exit-strategies:

Exit strategies are usually focused on the point where venture capital
cashes in, and takes a company public or sells to a larger one. 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.

Conversions to HD/IBOC are stalling:

"Bellwether BE Makes Some Changes?"

"BE is going through some less pleasant changes right now. Within a
few weeks' time the manufacturer of transmitters and digital audio and
data products lost its global sales VP; it laid off some of its
employees; and it announced the retirement of its CEO of eight years,
John Pedlow -- news that came, at least to me, suddenly... It's
probably no secret that the rate of HD Radio adoption has slowed in
the United States. There are new opportunities that exist in other
countries; Mexico and Brazil come to mind; sales there are few but
promising. The whole industry is in a bit of a null in the HD
transition but I don't think anyone's long-term plans have changed."

http://www.rwonline.com/pages/s.0044/t.9546.html

"IBiquity Digital's Make-or-Break Point Approaches" February 2005

"If we had this conversation seven years ago and you were to tell me
that in 2004 this company would still be private and raising funds,
I'd probably have keeled over, said Thomas Uhlman, a managing partner
at iBiquity's largest shareholder, New Venture Partners LLC."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...2005Feb27.html

So, iNiquity has only the $50/radio HD chipset fees to keep themselves
and the dying radio industry afloat. Investors have been waiting
forever to cash-in, hence the "couldn't be reached for comment". If
iBiquty could sell 100,000,000 HD radios, that would mean
$5,000,000,000 - the only reason they are looking at exit-strategies
is because the investors are mad-barking dogs at their door, and the
company is going nowhere!

"A Significant Sign in the Death of HD Radio"

"The radio industry is giving off signs that HD Radio is dead, even
though we keep hearing bright comments being uttered by iBiquity
execs... While the public's pulse on HD isn't beating, the latest
glaze over this problem is in a rebuilt HD Radio Alliance web site to
educate retailers and sales personnel on the benefits of HD
Radio...This is death sign #1... HD Radio's death is imminent. It's
only a matter of time, if you read the signs."

http://www.audiographics.com/agd/102607-1.htm

More death signs:

"Have 200 HD Radio stations gone missing?"

"The HD Radio camp is advertising that there are currently over 1,500
radio stations now broadcasting in HD (from its website, to press
releases as well as in various other promotions)... but yet only 1,300
have filed with the FCC."

http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/ha...e-missing.html

"IS IBIQUITY RENEGING ON A REBATE OFFER?"

"CGC #791 mentioned a limited-time price for the entry-level
Radiosophy HD100 digital radio receiver and there was a handsome
rebate offered from iBiquity. It now appears that iBiquity's rebate
contractor is balking on issuing some rebates, and we'd like to
determine the extent of the problem... We'll let you know if
significant trends develop."

http://www.bext.com/_CGC/2007/cgc807.htm

And, you can't undo the damage - HD/IBOC just doesn't work:

"Is HD Radio Toast?"

"There are serious issues of coverage. Early adopters who bought HD
radios report serious drop-outs, poor coverage, and interference. The
engineers of Ibiquity may argue otherwise and defend the system, but
the industry has a serious PR problem with the very people we need to
get the word out on HD... In other words, everything you can find on
the regular FM dial... The word has already gotten out about HD Radio.
People who have already bought an HD Radio are telling others of their
experience (mostly bad) and no amount of marketing will reverse this."

Lots-of-luck!

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-****!
