You're right, my mistake.

I should not generalize what is the case in the U.S. in terms of
streaming radio station audio with what is actually possible, and what
apparently is being done in the U.K.. Just as those that have never
heard digital radio in the U.S. should not equate it with the U.K.'s DAB
digital radio.

Well if somebody tried to sell me a car with a tiny engine, and said it
was a high performance sports car, then I would be suspicious.

If somebody told me that a digital radio system, being used with a bit
rate of only 40k, was providing high sound quality, then I would also be
suspicious about that. Oh hang on..... I just describes what I think
about HD-Radio.

I'm also suspicious of claims of near CD quality at 96k, as even aac
need 128k to provide near CD quality.

As far as I'm aware the laws of physics work the same way in the US as
they work here in the UK.

Physics not used here : it is special interest groups . They can and
DO twist things around quite a bit .

Over here we call that sort of thing "Spin". ;-)

We're a bit more pragmatic. We simply call it "Lying."

Yes, but you have First Ammendment rights and need to remember
where the libel capital of the world is located.

So Mandelson is officially known as a "spin-doctor" not a master of lies.
