Satellite Radio?"

Notable quote:

"It is pretty much confirmed that HD Radio is going to charge
consumers for content. At what point is the FCC going to consider this
service competition for satellite radio? Ironically, free HD is not
considered competition, but paid service would be!"

Yup, it's a given - looks like the HD Radio Alliance has finally
realized that HD Radio is not going to be terrestrial radio's great
savior, so they have now taken a backseat to Satellite Radio,
forever. Great news !
