No pro/con position on forcing efficiencies on intermediaries whose business model was distribution of physical artifacts, which can be done more efficiently / cheaper in the digital domain. Just an observation.

I can't help feel that that the creative destruction that the iPad/iTunes store offers content distributors is similar to the situation with Wal Mart and manufacturers. You are offered the Faustian Bargain of access to a huge market, but at a cost of ceding control. Consumers initially see low, low prices; But what happens long term? A race to the bottom? http://2010.newsweek.com/essay/a-decade-of-destruction.html oh, and http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/77/walmart.html

HD Radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia According to iBiquity's website the "HD" is simply a brand name and has no meaning Check out the "Criticisms" Section. They could have picked an open standard (DAB/DAB+/DRM) and had global economies of scale, but instead went with a non inter-operable proprietary solution On the content side, are you going to be able to pick up anything other than ClearChannel stations? Some old comments here Is HD Radio Worth It? (by Jeremy Zawodny) including this "gem" HD radio is nothing more than polishing a turd. Any fidelity gain is crushed by the fact that they'll still compress the shit out of already over-compressed music to make it louder than the next station on the dial.
