[BC] Top Ten reasons why IBOC won't make much difference...

[DANA PUOPOLO]

Following your arguement Ron, cell phones should have been a dismal failure.
After all, we had IMTS mobile telephones back in the 1960's.
Also, let's not forget that there was a pay phone on every corner.

Clearly, they were not.

And how many 8-track cartridges did a person have to haul around to equal
the capacity of an iPod?

The "do it yourself" option may not have been the easiest thing 40 years
ago, but it's here now.  Portable CD players, mp3 players, satellite
boom-boxes--all very real.

The 8-track may not have been the hottest thing around, but pre-recorded
cassettes did find something of a niche market...
