Digital Multicasting for the Rest of Us

If you act, there will be Digital Multicasting for the rest of us. Because digital radios are software driven, they can easily incorporate the common – standard streaming schemes in worldwide use. Technology exists which can deliver digital multicasting with a coverage area much larger than HDR which is good news for class A fm’s. At least one technology requires 90% less investment in new equipment than HDR which is good for small and medium market operators. Receivers enabled with AAC data streams( like in the Apple Ipod and Adobe Flash Player) or MP3 (as in MP3 player) would be easier for consumers to embrace. Broadcasters will be diminished if receivers are not standardized with these capabilities while computers remain capable. Small market operators will have to unite and press this on their own since the NAB is an advocate for the HDR Alliance offering. NAB has taken measures to prevent other digital multicasting methods from co- existing with HDR by seeking additional injectiion and saying the increased interference is "tolerable"..
 
I think its too late and maybe for radio in general. The big companies have already amde the decisions and it will require a mountain to move to get FM Extra in the door of the mess created with HD (AM Stereo) Radio.

My apologies to Leonard Kahn because HE invented something good and something that improved radio.

Betamax modified it's format in the vhs recorder before it was shoved aside.

We as a whole haven't been relevant, real, and reliable for a long time. If I want to listen to audio I can do it on a computer, get my information from a computer.
What can we do to make listeners want radio.
