Chip:

I think you know what point I was making regarding cellphone fossils. 
Hyperbole on my part. Cell subscribers get new "radio" much moire often than most 
people replace their AM FM radios. 

Chip, I have totally enjoyed this lively discussion with you. Thank you for 
making some very valid, thought provoking observations. I hope we can have 
another lively exchange again. I think at this point, I've made all the 
points I can on IBOC and the future of radio, so I think I'll bow out. Maybe 
someone else can pick up where I left off. I just don't want you to think I 
have ruffled feathers when I don't respond anymore :-)  You are certainly not 
alone in your thoughts and frustrations about our industry.

Thanks again for an enjoyable exchange!
