I think it'll die a natural death, though. Who wants to spend
$500 for a receiver so they can hear Glenn Beck or Phil
Hendrie (two of my favorites) in crisp, cell - phone - like
audio quality? Not me.

My thinking is that IBOC will go in the same box as stereo
and quadrature AM.

Most radio stations aren't near their fidelity limits now, and I don't
see what the promise of IBOC has to offer.

The comparision with AM stereo is interesting. 20 years ago, many
stations were quick to get on the AM stereo bandwagon, and heavily
promoted their new signal. AM stereo works pretty well, and there were
radios in the shops to buy. It just never caught on with the public.
