"IBOC TECHNOLOGY: An Assessment of Technical & Operational Issues in
the Canadian FM Radio Environment" 24 May 2007

"Based on the evidence currently in hand, the DRCG considers that it
would be risky for Canadian broadcasters to proceed at this time with
an unrestricted roll-out of HD Radio services in the FM band, in the
manner implemented in the US. There is no ground-swell of radio
listener interest in this technology so far and the lack of
inexpensive receivers, as well as unique new programming services,
continues to make it difficult to market HD Radio to the public in the
US. Moreover, there is no evidence that Canadian digital radio
listeners are being lost to the 10% of US FM stations that have
implemented HD Radio to date."

Ha! Ha! Eduardo! Word's getting around, and the other countries
testing IBOC will surely follow!

IBOC Crock,

Because of the 'limited' number of AM/MW and FM Radio Stations
in Canada : Implemention of IBOC "HD" Radio within Canada itself
is not a Technical Problem; as it is not a Technical Problem in the
Rest-of-the-World. It is only in the USA where there are an over
abundance of both AM/MW and FM Radio Stations that IBOC is a
significant Technical Problem and then the main problem is AM/MW
Nightime Interference due to Medium Wave propagation.

IBOC 'fits' the FM Band Plan.

IBOC does not 'fit' the current AM/MW Band Plan.

IBOC is dead on both bands, if not from lack of consumer interest,
poor reception, and bland, repetitive, non-compelling programming.
