Another  wonderful story. Especially this part:

Developed by iBiquity Digital  Corporation and supported by the leaders of the
broadcasting, consumer  electronics, retail and automotive industries, HD 
Radio
technology is  available to more than 84 percent of Americans.  More than 
1,800
HD  Radio stations are already on the air plus over 900 new multicast  FM
channels. HD Radio broadcasts offer listeners the quality, choice  and
interactivity that consumers have come to expect from digital  technologies,

Diogenes has abandoned his search for an honest man and  is now trying 
to find an IBUZ receiver. So much for retailer support. This  stuff is 
such PR hogwash it's pathetic.
Did anyone see this from Diymedia? iBiquity is effectively denying all of  
its claims about this wonderful technology:
 
"Any simple WHOIS domain-name search turns up the obvious: iBiquity  owns 
HDRadio.com... My question is, why all the disclaimage?.. Are you  effectively 
denying the validity/credibility of your consumer-marketing  claims?.. Hiding 
behind a trademark-disclaimer - that HDRadio.com is 'managed'  by the HD Radio 
Alliance - does not cut the mustard."
