Within a Decade ~2016+ IBOC {HD-Radio} in the USA

I'd say more like 2020 to 2025 for analog terrestrial radio to disappear
in the U.S. Because of the recession you're not going to see HD Radio in
every new car for five to seven more years, and thus there will be too
many relatively new vehicles with analog-only radios in "~2016+." Look
how long it took every vehicle to have FM, after FM was invented, more
than thirty years!

I'd predict that by 2020, buying a vehicle with an analog FM radio will
be like buying a vehicle with a cassette deck in 2011. I could be wrong
of course, all of a sudden something so much better could come along
that everyone abandoned digital radio.

The big advantage in the U.S. and other HD countries, is that it's a
more gradual transition than in Europe. This causes some problems in
terms of co-existence of analog and digital on the same band, but it
also makes the transition a lot easier. It's still possible that if DAB+
fails that the European countries will look to the success of HD Radio
in the U.S. and realize that even though it's an American system that
it's a better solution than DAB+.

How long do you think that investors will continue to float iBiquity?
iBiquity was supposed to go IPO by 2009, but now it is too late,
especially since many investment firms out of NY, and some direct
iBiquity investors, have repeatedly visited my blog and know about the
car HD Radio investigations.

Well I'm sure that the 2000+ stations broadcasting in HD, the
multi-national automobile manufacturers, and the receiver manufacturers
are operating in fear of a hysterical blog by an anonymous and clueless
individual, and a page on a web site of a personal injury law firm in
New Jersey that complains that the range of digital radio signals is
insufficient because one of the principals purchased a vehicle with an
HD Radio and didn't realize that it was not the same as satellite radio.

If that's the best that those opposed to digital radio can do, then
digital radio has a very bright future indeed.

The fact is that digital radio is all about content and a lack of
monthly fees. The lack of multipath interference is a plus, but the same
thing that sells satellite radio and Pandora is what's driving adoption
of digital radio, except that digital radio doesn't have a recurring
monthly charge.

If you look at what radio stations are doing with their HD sub-channels
it's adding more content, especially content where the audience isn't
sufficient to warrant continuing the genre on the main station. Even if
the audio quality could technically be better on analog FM, in practice,
the sound quality and lack of interference, even at a lower bit rate on
the sub-channels, still provides a superior product in most cases than
analog FM.

Now there's spin if ever I heard it.
I don't remember hearing about any legal suits against Woolworth's
stores here in the UK, so by your logic they also should have had a very
bright future indeed. And yet they still went Bankrupt.

Having no strong legal suits against a company, doesn't automatically
make them a success, that it just pure spin.

For digital radio to be a success, it needs to get the public interested
in buying receivers and in using them. So far (judging from what I've
ready here) the sales of HD-Radio receivers has been tiny. I accept that
sales might increase (as I can't prove otherwise), but that hasn't
happened yet. So you can't yet claim that digital radio has been a
success, and you can not assume that it is going to be a success, and
you can not claim that it has a bright future. At least not without some
strong evidence to back it up, and so far I've not seen any such strong
evidence, just a lot of spin from people like you.

The fact is that digital radio is all about content and a lack of
monthly fees. The lack of multipath interference is a plus, but the same
thing that sells satellite radio and Pandora is what's driving adoption
of digital radio, except that digital radio doesn't have a recurring

They tried to see us DAB based upon content here in the UK, and that
approach hasn't worked. The forecasts for DAB listening figures keep on
having to be revised down, and it's actually got to the point where
sales grown of often negative. The sales of DAB receivers seems to have
levelled off, while only a small minority of people are listening to it.


If you look at what radio stations are doing with their HD sub-channels
it's adding more content, especially content where the audience isn't
sufficient to warrant continuing the genre on the main station. Even if
the audio quality could technically be better on analog FM, in practice,
the sound quality and lack of interference, even at a lower bit rate on
the sub-channels, still provides a superior product in most cases than
analog FM.

Still more spin, but no sign of significant receiver sales.

According to the FCC database only 1800+ stations have converted, not
the 2100 iBiquity claims, and a number of them have turned off IBOC.

Now, it's two law firms working in concert. I talked with Keefe's
office about a month ago (we are in email contact with him, and I just
fed him information about Microsoft's and iBiquity's fraud to sell the
Zune HD in Canada where there are zero HD Radio stations), and they
indicated they were having a conference call with a bunch of
"experts". I wouldn't be surprised to see more specialized
communications law firms getting involved. Broadcasters are already
involved. There is so much iBiquity deception and fraud to investigate.

Where, oh where? is Eduardo to chime in on that.

'Eduardo' is a clown 'tard whose mommy sent him away because he was an
embarrassment to the family.

She also fronted him the $$ for his Ecuadorian adventures.

Bet on it.

"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."

http://www.diymedia.net/archive/0809.htm#082509

Only 15% of HD channels, if they haven't been tuned off already, are
offering anything new.
