Default The People vs. HD Radio

"The People v. HD Radio"

"It's not quite going in that direction - yet - but another law firm
has opened an inquiry into "defective" HD Radio receivers in high-end
automobiles. The first firm on the scene, Keefe Bartels, is now
soliciting consumer complaints about problems with HD Radio reception.
Details are few, but there's always the chance - if a lawsuit is filed
- that the plaintiffs could push for class-action status. Both firms
appear to be working in concert. That would be a significant nail in
iBiquity's coffin: receiver manufacturers, already unenthused with the
product, will stay well away from the technology. If the law firms'
primary beef seems to be that "HD" has been implied to mean "High
Definition" (which it has), they need to dig deeper; there are plenty
of more substantive counts on which to indict the technology. There's
also the possibility that lawsuits could be filed between radio
stations suffering interference from other stations that have deployed
HD side-channels. Since the FCC is doing nothing with at least three
pending complaints, the victim-stations suffering HD-induced
interference may have no recourse but the courts. Were any of these
legal potentialities to be realized, "game-changer" is not strong
enough to denote the consequences."

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect
Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the
common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings
of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United States of America."
