IBOC Crap News
David Eduardo wrote: "Telamon" wrote in message ... . The TV band is going to be auctioned off for new technologies and the FCC plans to bring in billions. Giving licenses for new "AM swaps" in Bemidji will not come anywhere close to that, so it will not happen. Further above you asked what frequencies would I use and the last paragraph I previously wrote answers that. I don't see why some of the old TV band could not be used for a new commercial digital radio band that normally would not propagate out of the local area. Antennas would be smaller like the current FM band. The FCC is not going to give up multi-billion dollar frequencies for a few dollars. They already have a plan and demand for the TV channels, and this is pretty much set in cement. The hybrid IBOC is temporary and the analog will portion will be done away with anyway so existing radios will be obsoleted. Probably not for a decade, if that. There is no sunset law on it going all digital... unlike HDTV. None of this matters. You're BUSTED. |
