"It's obvious to me that HD radio is being force feed to the public and
has nothing to do with letting the market decide. It's a sad day when
government no longer represents us but controls us."

Who bought the first radio to listen to the first station, tv ditto?
Government was only involved in setting the hd technical specs to be
used. This was the same for tv, radio had no such choices as analog was
the only game going at first other then cw.
