HD Radio is nothing but a farce!

DOH ! - That is the 'standard' Business Model for any Patented
{Proprietary} Item that is Licensed - Ultimately the Buyer Pays
the Price for "That Which They Receive".

Point-of-Fact - The FCC mandated that iBquity 'License' IBOC
Technology to All at a Reasonable Cost as requirement of
having the exclusive Right to Digital Signal Broadcast Processing
in the USA for the AM/MW and FM Radio Bands.
