"Arbitron/Edison study chills the already thin air of HD Radio"

"All you need to know about this research is this: It says relatively
few know about HD. It says that number hasn't gone up. And it implies
that folks are aware of what they care about, not vice versa. It also
strongly suggests this isn't going to change any time soon - as in,
forever."

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!

Eduardo - You really are detached from reality. You don't get it.
Nobody in the U.S. wants iBiquitys HD system - not yesterday, not
today, not next year. If not for their business in South America they
would be out of business today.

It's not a long term proposition anymore. It's becoming shorter and
shorter every day. Take a look at iBiquitys website. They're
absolutely frantic about getting stations to sign on. Do-it-now is
how they want it. That doesn't sound long-term to me or anyone else.
Investors are seeing the light and Struble and his bandits know it.
The clock is ticking down.

Also, Eddy boy, I knew Edwin Armstrong and Armstrong you're not. To
place him in the same sentence with you, iBiquity or anything else
going on today in radio is a travesty. You should be ashamed of
yourself.

By the way, did you start your used car business yet?

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.

You would have to be well into your 70's to have known him as an adult...
maybe that explains your luddite values.

Not everyone who fails to embrace HD is bairn of Ludd. After all, the
same persons you brand as Luddites have, historically: been on the
internet, users of Satellite Radio--and in many cases, satellite
TV--listeners to podcasts, and/or internet Radio. That's hardly Luddism,
Brother.

It's just a more discriminating approach to the merits of a specific
technology.

The objections to HD radio are not a blanket objection to new
technology. They are objections three to this technology: The absurd
price and ongoing fee structure, the failure to live up to its hype, and
the insane amounts of interference generated.

That's not Luddism. What's more, is that you know that.

Present an alternative that generates no interference and the
objections to HD radio will go away.

You know that, too.


But your inability to speak rationally in non-corporate speak about
this topic, except when you drag out the 'L'-word is making you sound
desperate, David. More to the point, your inability to preach in
something other than iBiquity-speak, makes you sound evermore the shill.

If you really want them to embrace your point...talk to them, not at
them. Something you tell your talent every day.

You're a master debater. But you're not very persuasive.

Persuasion is what your trying to achieve, isn't it?

Eddy - FYI luddite isn't a word. Where did you come up with that one?
You're amazing!

Also, If ibiquity were "fully funded" as you wrongly state they
wouldn't be looking for new revenue streams all the time. Point is,
they're light years away from self-supporting. It's a race to see how
long it takes for investors to finally realize Stubble, or... I mean
Struble, is an idiot. By the way, he occupies 90% of his time looking
for funds.

Hit Wikipedia and enter "luddite". That will explain his use of the
word.

Basically, it's a broad term referring to those who object to new
techology to hold back progress.

It's not a very precise term. Nor is it correctly used in this
application.
