Commentary: IBOC Naysayers Fear Change Educator Says It's Time for
Radio to Leave the Warm Glow of the 12AV6

by Edward Montgomery

After reading letters to the editor and excerpts of publicly-filed
comments from individuals opposed to the switch to IBOC, Ed
Montgomery, an electronics and communications teacher for 34 years,
prepared this opinion which he says refers "to another time when a
broadcast signal was changed to provide better service even though it
introduced what was considered a 'penalty.'"

Human beings generally cling to the status quo. When something new
comes along, trepidation often results.

Snip gratuitous BS

An ignorant opinion coming from anyone and completely inexcusable
opinion coming from an educator.

Radio purists
But a lot of people like that act out of ignorance.

Snip even more blatant and non-relevant BS

The issue is about:
1. Money invested in receiving equipment.
2. Going to a more complex transmission scheme.
3. Control over who can listen.
4. Using a proprietary scheme over one in the public domain.
5. Only somewhat compatible with existing spectrum usage.
6. The change is advantageous for the broadcasters in reducing costs and
possibly creating additional revenue where the listener just gets
additional costs. A deal for the listener...not.

What a blow hard idiotic opinion.
