"The Big Noise in Digital Radio" (BusinessWeek again)

[PocketRadio]

I suppose these peole don't use computers, play stations, television sets, stereo systems, load their Ipods and istall I-tunes, or much of anything by themselves. Using an HD radio (especially one in the car) is simplicity itself. You turn the knob or depress the power button, tune n the station you want and adjust the volume control. If you can't do that you shouldn't be driving a car.

Actually they do. Their ipod needs no antenna. Their cell phone needs no 'special' antenna. Even clearwire provides broadband to their computer with no wire at all, and only the trivial built in antenna.

You are confusing 'can't do it', with: 'What... I need to run an antenna! How quaint! Come back to me when you've caught up to our century'.

I'de rather have a stub, than a dipole !

Who says you don't. People are known to talk. You can't be too careful.
