[BC] MS objection to IBOC

[Ernie Belanger]

I note with interest a sentence buried in the iBiquity notification of the 
meeting with Martin.

iBiquity urged the agency to not delay taking action on these items 
(nighttime AM and Suplemental audio services and advanced data services) 
while it separately considers adopting NRSC-5 as the nation's digital radio 
broadcasting standard.

They know they have a huge fight ahead of them on NRSC-5. They need to keep 
pushing the roll out to keep cash flow.
They are trying to separate the two.

Question:  Just like you can't have a digital standard without a Codec 
(which is the standard). How can the commission continue to authorize the 
roll out when major questions have been raised about the "not yet adopted 
standard" which is being rolled out??
