  1. Comment - Pro-Obama senators petition FCC to review XM + Sirius merger

    (Jun 30, 2008 - 3:06 PM)

    "FCC Chair backs approval of Sirius-XM merger"

    "Open Device Access, providing technology standards to allow for any device manufacturer to make satellite radios... UPDATE: Noticeably absent from the agreed concessions are iBiquity's proposal to require HD Radios be built-in to satellite radios."

    "Pioneer says HD Radio succcess should be decided by open market, not forced inclusion"

    "IBiquity, the company behind HD Radio, is making enemies all over the place, the latest of which is Pioneer. The Japan-based corp, which makes the popular Inno, recently told the FCC [PDF] that iBiquity's scheme to force satellite radio manufacturers to include HD Radio playback is absurd. The iBiquity conditions would limit the breadth of radio product offerings to consumers, limit which radio component suppliers’ products be designed into radios, have the effect of decreasing AM/FM tuning performance, unnecessarily increase costs to consumers uninterested in HD Radio and interfere with the useful and healthy free market mechanisms extant in radio electronics purchases."

  3. Comment - Sneak peek at upcoming HD radios with iTunes tagging

    (May 23, 2008 - 3:35 PM)

    "Who needs 'Tagging' for HD radio?"

    "No 'HD tagging' required. No HD radios required, in fact. Why buy a new radio in order to tag your songs when you can do it on an iPod right now?"

    "And the good ideas keep on coming..."

    "So let me understand this... HD radio has been reduced to being a storefront for iTunes? So I listen to my HD radio, tag the songs I like, download them to my iPod, and listen to my iPod rather than my HD radio, right?"

    Same old tired recycled news - no one cares about HD Radio. HD radios are not selling, and are on-clearance at Radio Shack and Best Buy. Most of the time, retailers don't even bother plugging them in, can't erect external antennas, or are sitting on dusty shelves at the back of stores - what a farce:
