[BC] IBOC in trouble?

[Bill Harms]

I disagree with your premise that we can even modify IBOC as it is 
proposed. There are too many problems which extend beyond getting a 
system installed on a station.  What I am saying that yes, IBOC might 
sound good after it is installed, and it might not be that difficult 
thing to install. But that is a very parochial way of looking at 
things. After it is installed at a given station, it starts to 
adversely affect others.  That is the problem. To not look at it from 
that frame of reference is a bit self-centered.  No offense to those 
who advocate IBOC, but that is the way I see it.
