Very true, though on the outside it looks like it would be one of the 
hottest markets in a very long time for transmitters. Granted, DTV is 
in place, but IBUZ has thousands of potential customers who need to 
upgrade facilities. Travel the country and look at AM transmitter 
sites. Many decades beyond their useful life just limping along 
toward the next failure.

Let's say half the stations decide to go IBUZ. We'll never sucker 
everyone in. That's still a lot of equipment and eternal hybrid 
operation. You'll never know how inadequate this technology is until 
you invest in it. That's the good part - upgrading obsolete facilities.
