Conclusion : Why DAB Eureka 147 failed in the UK :
Maybe the reason IBOC "HD" AM& FM Radio will
succeed in the USA.

Two things led to the IBOC solution in the U.S.:

1) There was no spectrum available for a digital-only service.

2) Broadcasters wanted an IBOC solution because it did not require
the purchase of additional spectrum or licenses.

Preposterous.

The money-men wanted to preserve the inferiority of the smaller
stations and AM stations, which could have suddenly become equal in
coverage and quality in a new digital band. They wanted to prevent
that from happening. They also wanted to _own_ any new content
streams that might come into existence, instead of having them
available for new broadcasters.
