For those that think that IBOC is going to go away soon, the FCC Chairmen
speaks of it as being the future of radio.


It's also worth noting that the chairman backed BPL as the next best thing
since sliced bread.
Now, the ARRL has taken them down a notch with a court win against them.
By the time this sad technology gets going, DSL, Cable and wireless will
have eaten up their market.

They never had a market. This is another POS technology looking for a
problem to solve.

I agree 100%. But it is troubling that the chairman backs this w/o asking
the technical questions. It's likely one could see why if we could follow
the $$ trail.
It seems it was not this way in past decades when the chairman had a
technical backgroundt and could think for himself.\

When you have a Presidential candidate who graduated 850th out of 887 in
his college class (McCain - Naval Academy, no less) then you can see where
this country is headed.

Wasn't stereo going to save the Am band too? Something else that nobody
wanted to cared about. I mean it sound good, but I'm a radio geek.
