Kahn Files Suit Against Ibiquity and Clear Channel, Alleging Antirust Violation

"Kahn Files Suit Against Ibiquity and Clear Channel, Alleging Antirust Violations"
And in other very old news.......

ANYONE can file suit. Now all they have to do is prove it.
 
The RIAA, ASCAP, BMI, and performers rights organizations have said they will not grant HD Radio stations music licenses and broadcast rights to digital radio stations once the receivers are mass produced without digital copy protection in the HD radios. This has scared off most of the large radio manufacturers that have the capacity to mass produce large numbers of HD radios. They don't want to be involved in the huge lawsuit that the music industry has promised.

Entirely untrue. What manufacturers have been scared away?

More pure speculation on your part.

Not really. You presented as yours, and I responded. So you lied, and I bought it?

So it proves that you're good at lying...
 
HD Radio is not CD quality and, is often not as good as the analog stereo FM signal it is supposed to replace. This is even more true of the HD2 signal as it is broadcast at an even lower bitrate. FM HD Radio degrades the main station's analog stereo FM signal it surrounds, resulting in noisier, lower quality audio for the existing analog listeners. HD Radio on both AM and FM has a shorter range then the analog signal of the host station, resulting in HD reception problems for suburban commuters and when traveling between cities. HD Digital Radio offers little to consumers and listeners, except more interference, and fewer stations. HD Radio only has "interim approval" and NOT final approval from the FCC and any HD Radio bought now might be obsolete if the FCC or RIAA insists the standards be changed. Today's expensive HD Radio might be tomorrow's doorstop, or pet rock

I've run you off again!

Take a look at the Arbitron ratings for Trenton, NJ. The ratings for the NYC stations have all suddenly gone down in Trenton since the nearby Philadelphia stations started transmitting FM IBOC, thus leaving the adjacent NYC stations with noisy, staticky, hiss-filled signals. Even on an excellent car radio, in Trenton the NYC signals which are not adjacent to any IBOC signal are in clear stereo, while the NYC which are unfortunately next to IBOC hash can only be received in hissy mono. IBOC will not last long when stations realize that in exchange for gaining a few dozen local listeners to their "HD2" channels, they are losing thousands of fringe-area analog listeners. You can be(t) that at some point the "HD2" channels will be continued as Internet audio streams only, and the IBOC signals will be turned off.

Remember folks...these lies aren't even his! Be sure to thank him for spamming the board!

:D
 
Trenton is not anywhere near NYC. NY does not sell Trenton. Stop with this rediculous argument.

Hey, I provided some useful information - what are you complaining about ! How could you just have logged on, just as I replied to your post - what do you have, some sort of alarm ! What do you do, sit at your computer and wait for those reply messages to come in, then log on madly - wouldn't it just be easier to stay logged on forever, since you live here ! :D

Boy, that comment really in error! Trenton's urban population begins 8 miles beyond the service contour of almost every class B fm in NYC!!!! Probably some people with a Princeton zip code are within service contour of those NYC stations...

People who live in the city too long think going around the block is half way around the world. Two of my cars have over a quarter of million miles on them. 50 miles from Trenton to NYC is nothing to listen to normally-protected class B stations.
