"Finalist Fiascos: DAB, the digital radio"
PocketRadio
terrestrial digital radio, but is anybody listening?"
"But today, digital radio is struggling to find its legs. While it's
still in the cradle in the United States, it has begun to crawl, a
bit, in Europe and elsewhere... Europe has had a standard for digital
radio for some time. The European Union adopted the standard, called
Eureka 147, 10 years ago. But high prices and a lack of consumer
interest have kept the market tiny."
"Finalist Fiascos: DAB, the digital radio"
"The estimated investment on digital radio has been of 50 million
euros in Spain, an amount that got to 350 million thanks to the help
of the other six European countries that believed in this technology.
In Catalonia the fiasco was accomplished in November 2008, when after
ten years without an audience, the Corporació Catalana de Mitjans
Audiovisuals -the Public Catalan Media Corporation- brought digital
radio broadcasting to a halt."
"Germany flicks off-switch on DAB"
"Part of the problem is that analogue FM never went away and most
people didn't seem to care for the clear digital-quality sound, and
were left nonplussed by such benefits as easy tuning and message
displays with song names and titles. DAB is struggling almost
everywhere in Europe."
"Macquarie Radio execs: delays have killed the future of digital
radio"
"Macquarie Radio Network says years of delays had killed the future of
digital radio, which was being overtaken by broadband services, third-
generation mobiles and digital devices such as iPods, reports
Australian IT."
"Digital Radio in Canada"
"The Commission is very concerned about the stalled DRB transition.
Roughly 15 of the 76 authorized stations (including the digital-only
operation in Toronto) are not on the air. Some stations that once
operated have since ceased operations. Few recievers have been sold,
and there is no interest in expanding DRB service beyond the six
cities where it exists."

WiFi?
Last Wednesday,
I ordered a Wide Area High Gain WiFI Antenna
from www.MFJEnterprises.com
(Hot New Products)
My WiFi Antenna hasen't shown up here yet.
But, the Aluratek Internet Clock Radio
I ordered from www.aluratek.com
last Wednesday showed up here yesterday morning.
I guess MFJ has to build my WiFi Antenna
first before they can ship it to me.

If you didn't have a PhD, then why did you lie about having one?

And, as always, don't let your children attend Louisville Technical Institute.
They've hired at least one dufus who once claimed to have a PhD, and who knows,
there may be more.
