With the exception of a few rare shows or

where's
the wow factor with HD radio? This is radio's big release! their big hit
and
future! You can't walk into Best Buy and hear a dozen or so great
sounding
stations.


Um no offense but...


1) not all stations sound the same. some have actual shows that will
play music that isn't exactly innovative but the shows can be
good...there's some hd stations now with radio shows that stream
online...having wifi in cars might be the future with this but it can
take awhile. Boston for example is presumed to be a very wired city
with all the colleges and everything but yet four years after planning
it they still don't..there's a chance that after the analog ota tv
channels sunset that more spectrum will allow this maybe...


You can buy mobile broadband from Verizon or Sprint.


I have both, and need both as the coverage is erratic on both. The unlimited
service costs me a total of about $2,000 a year. That is a bit more than
most people will pay to stream audio.


You tell us all about it, NAMBLA dude...
