"Radio's Sounds of Silence"

"Radio's Sounds of Silence"

"Their lobby group managed to negotiate an exemption for HD radio back in 1995 when it was still a gleam in iBiquity's eye. Nothing sticks to terrestrial radio. But that's about to change... And when they do, they will be paying the same outlandish rates that are going to force a lot of Internet streamers out of business July 15th."

So much for streaming HD Radio on the Internet.
 
Notice how Jerry never has anything good to say about radio. Also notice how he's a FORMER radio person. Gee, I wonder if it's a coincidence. If Jerry was such a talented radio person why can't he get a job in the industry? I think the world would have more respect for him if he put his "talents" where his mouth is. It's easy to pick apart everyone elses work. It's quite another to put up or shut up. The more I see what this guy has to say I think he should add self important egotist to his resume.
 
Ibiquity didn't exist in '95. Digital radio was largely developed before they were even a company. Not that facts should slow you down. They never have.

"iBiquity Digital Corporation"

"iBiquity Digital Corporation was founded in 1991 as USA Digital Radio Partners, L.P. and changed its name to USA Digital Radio, Inc. in 1998. Further, the name was changed to iBiquity Digital Corporation in 2000."

So, just like your other posts - a "technicality" is going to make the bad news go away ! :D

"HD Digital Radio"

What's going to be totally amusing, would be the disappearance of Clear Channel's on-line HD Radio streaming site ! :D
 
USADR (USA Digital Radio) became Ibiquity after incorporating the work of MANY companies, not just USADR. Again, Ibiquity didn't exist in '95. The environment was completely different, with many companies scrambling to meet the FCC's mandate of an in-band, on-channel solution for AM and FM. I saw working prototypes of IBOC systems at the NAB Radio Show in New Orleans at the now infamous New Orleans Convention Center in October of '95. Many companies were represented. Ibiquity wasn't one of them (nor, to my recollection, was USADR). Now Lucent Technologies (late of AT&T) which no longer exists had a great demo!

You can trace the roots of AT&T back more than a century. But it's pretty hard to claim that the current company bearing it's name has much to do with that past.

Perhaps you should leave the history of digital radio, and the telling of it's story, to people who were there at (in radio) at the beginning, and have followed it's progress all along. Today's Ibiquity has little (if anything) to do with the USADR of the mid '90s, other than the fact that it's technology, along with that of Lucent, Fraunhofer, and others is "in there".

"Clear Channel's Plan to Stick it to Independent Artists"

"More outrageously, in 1995, when the Digital Performance Act was passed establishing a performance royalty for digital radio The National Association of Broadcasters, the lobby group for the radio companies, successfully negotiated an exemption from having to pay it on H.D. radio streams... As part of the settlement with the FCC, the radio networks agreed, among other conditions, to air 4,200 hours of local and independent music on their stations."

Oh, so that is why HD Radio is turning into the next American Idle ! :D
