It's one thing to tinker with something to make better in a controlled 
(lab) environment.  That's the corollary to the Wright Bros. and most any 
inventor. The boondoggle with IBOC is they KNEW that the system created 
harmful interference and yet proceeded to market the system 
anyway.  Clearly not ready for prime-time on the AM side.

Ibiquity should have followed Orison Well's advice from the old Gallo wine 
commercials..."We shall sell no wine before it's time."
