It took CD players 8 years to get to where a portable was under a hundred bucks. Eddie, Nice try. The sale CD players showed continuous growth from their inception. HD radio shows no growth. You need help in understanding free markets. Stubble...er... I mean Struble spends 90% of his time looking for funds according to iBiquity insiders. Ibiquity is light years away from self-supporting. It can't go on forever. People wanted CDs. Nobody wants HD radio. By the way what does "luddite" mean? You make up words like you take your fantasies and peddle them as fact. |

All involved with HD know it is a long term proposition, not a quick fix.. Since the costs are very low for the top market stations to "do" HD, there is plenty of time to let more and more receivers get into the market over the next 5 to 7 years. iBiquity is running out of funds, and HD Radio has been around for three years already, with zero consumer interest. As Arbitron stated, that is not going to change. If HD Radio was going to take-off, it would have done so, already, and you know it! iBiquity is fully funded, and in for the long term. Consumer interest will increase as prices decline. It took CD players 8 years to get to where a portable was under a hundred bucks.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - "Are you waiting in line for your HD radio?" "If you lower the price enough, folks will buy the radio." That's the belief about HD radio that is being stoked in our industry. And, of course, it's wrong. At any given price consumers will purchase an item if the desire is there and if the value of that item equals or exceeds the price being charged for it. This is basic economics. For example, if you wanted to be first to own a Sony PlayStation 3 game system, you waited on line for three days for the chance to spend $600 on one of these babies when the doors opened at Best Buy last Friday. And you did it gladly. No discounts required. Compare that with the industry's attitude about selling new radio hardwa "Once the price drops below $100, they'll fly off the shelves." The more you have to drop your price, the lower the chance people value what you're selling. And the less likely you are to sell your wares at any price the maker of those wares finds appealing. No matter if you're selling HD radios or satellite radios or whatever. You could, of course, give the radios away (as we have argued), but then don't pretend that your business plan requires people to buy them. Otherwise you will be judged a failure if they don't. Check out this notice from Sirius about their hot new portable Stiletto 100: Due to high demand, we're now taking pre-orders on Stiletto 100. Place your order today as new shipments are arriving weekly. Orders placed today are now expected to ship the week of November 27, 2006. And the price? $349.99. http://www.hear2.com/2006/11/are_you_waiting.html Eduardo - are you really this stupid? Also, if iBiquity was fully- funded for the long-hall, then they wouldn't be trying to scam J P Morgan, and the likes, out of $15 million, and having to take out loans: "IBiquity Digital HQ expansion to include 82 new jobs" "A $300,000 loan to iBiquity Digital Corp. from a state economic development fund helped pay for expansion of the company's Columbia headquarters." http://www.bizjournals.com/baltimore...10/daily3.html |

Most of your posts have sentences followed by 3 or 4 question marks so are you extra confused? Looks like it to me. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
