Seems like a crazy Idea. The first thing that struck me was new radio's
would have to be purchased for the plan to be effective. But in the mean
time what would people do? The Am band is struggling as is and because of
the Internet and more new competitive devices Fm radio is in danger too.

Yeah, crazy idea is right. Lots of radio stations can't draw an audience
now even though everybody already has a radio. These guys want to fix it by
starting up a new radio band.

I can't wait until this concept is applied to retailing. Struggling stores
try to save the business by moving to the new mall out in the middle of the
desert.



I guess the government would issue a coupon or something to help ease the
financial pain of buying new radios.
And the old ones could be sold on E-bay. LOL

Let's not forget government coupons for all the batteries the digital
portables will eat.


The unused band would be great for low power, and college radio operators.
The more I think about this the more I like it.. We might have some
interesting content on the radio again.. LOL


If Big Radio is already doomed on AM, what difference will the proposed
bandplan make?
