HD Radio has been on  the air long enough that the FCC is out of the 
equation. The problem we have now is getting the consumer to buy an HD receiver, 
not the FCC. It would do us well not to play the blame game. Nothing on the 
HD system matters until there are consumers with HD receivers. I can't think 
of a rule that the FCC could change that would cause a public fascination 
with HD Radio, can you?
