- Matthias247 10y agoIsn't HD Radio a proprietary thing and not a real standard that anybody can use?
- scholia 10y agoThe new digital standard for radio is DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale). Given a choice, nobody would adopt 1990s-style DAB today. Problem is that countries are so deep in failing DAB systems that they don't have the will or the guts to change. It would involve a lot of humility and a huge loss of face. Sobering thought for the day: DAB was developed at the same time as the World-Wide Web.
- Johnythree 10y agoDRM is an international standard. So of course in the USA they have their own propriety standard. "In-band on-channel" or IBOC. Different versions for the AM band and the FM band.
