HD, as applied to radio, does not mean High Definition. HD is
ibiquity's
meaningless marketing term.

Here are three places you won't see much of the term "High Definition".

How about "High Density"? Seems to describe the way digital radio sounds
on
a conventional AM detector and the way complainants characterise the
interference. Some might also say it characterises the way a digital
receiver sounds - certainly not CD quality.

That reminds me that ibiquity's stylized "HD" symbol looks like a recycled
version of the cryptic CH symbol found on the once- common high density 1.44
Mb floppy disks. I'd think a company as aware of marketing as ibiquity
would have been more sensitive to the image of a short digital lifecycle.
