[BC] One other IBUZ zzz

[JYRussell@academicplanet.com]

One other thought that crosses my mind here, I hadn't noticed (might've 
missed) on all this IBUZ or IHISS or whatever...

   I know of at least one or two smaller stations in my area that simply 
don't have the money to "take the digital plunge" yet.  Just the cost of the 
equipment, let alone the tune and test part if it all.  What if we find our 
in the next 6months or a year that the NRSC 5 or the part 74 or what ever 
changes, again, requiring another expenditure... how many small or micro 
(mom&pop) size operations that don't gain any listener & ad money from the 
IBUZS will actually put the money out while it all seems rather... "first 
generation"... (even if it's not. )   Soome of these stations really went 
through the $$ pains on the first gen DAW, and might be a bit gun-shy about 
IBUZS right now while it's so tough to show them that the FCC and NRSC and 
Ibquity folks are all working to the same reference sheet  Plus, where is 
the  flock of listeners ringing the phones ringing the local phones to get 
the "clarity of digital broadcasting" on their local stations...?  I'm glad 
the "big boys" can afford to experiment with it all for a while, but I also 
think maybe it would help matters a bit if we didn't try to "rush" the 
product out just because it's the latest greatest thing.  Are we trying to 
"sell a wine before it's time"...?
