"iBiquity Twists Its Tubes"

"Any simple WHOIS domain-name search turns up the obvious: iBiquity
owns HDRadio.com. Administrative and technical contacts point straight
back to the corporate HQ. My question is, why all the disclaimage? And
are you really that clueless, iBiquity? Are you effectively denying
the validity/credibility of your consumer-marketing claims?.. Hiding
behind a trademark-disclaimer - that HDRadio.com is 'managed' by the
HD Radio Alliance - which is, for all intents and purposes, iBiquity
(though that particular domain is registered to Clear Channel) - does
not cut the mustard."

"Big radio shoots itself in the foot (again)"

"Then they started promoting 'extra free channels', which it seems
they've now decided to charge for. Which require a different special
radio, which you can't even buy yet! Every day in every way, it's more
and more like another 'AM stereo' fiasco. And wait until Congress
notices this. Don't be surprised if they decide to re-open the
questions of spectrum taxes or frequency auctions for commercial
radio. Not very smart."

"NDS Optimistic About Conditional Access Uses for Radio"

"NDS is working with chip manufacturers like Texas Instruments,
Samsung, SiPort, NXP and others to work the Radio Guard intellectual
property into HD Radio chipsets. The Dice unit is the first to have
the NDS conditional access properties; however, We expect eventually
all HD Radio chips will have NDS Radio Guard in them, he said."

"How a closed-source model is killing HD Radio"

"Though most consumers don’t know it, there are software revisions
appearing with HD Radio right now, and most radios are not field-
upgradable — it’s not safe to invest big bucks in receivers yet."

"Can all HD Radio tuners get these extra channels?"

"Multicasting was developed after the first generation of HD Radio
tuners hit the market. While all HD Radio tuners will pick up the
station's primary digital channel, only radios that are designated
multicast-capable will be able to pick up HD2 and any additional
subchannels. Multicasting capability has since become a standard
feature on HD Radio tuners. At this point, virtually all HD Radio
tuners on the market can receive multicast channels."

"HD Radio is already lost (and really isn't 'HD')"

"Quite honestly, it doesn't stand for anything, said Peter Ferrera,
president and CEO of the HD Digital Radio Alliance. The concept was
somewhat of a steal from HD television, where viewers know it means
better quality."

"HD Radio Increasing Format Diversity?"

"From there, we can derive that 15% - or a whopping 130 multicast
channels - exist right now that might actually offer up something new
to a listener lucky enough to be in that innovative market (and
equipped with the proper receiver, which in itself is an interesting
story), as opposed to a derivation on the same-old."

When these HD Radio fraudsters start charging for the HD side-
channels, this will require another round of HD radio purchases, as
these channels will become encrypted, and current HD radios will
become obsolete! Fraudsters!
