A new publication from iBiquity called "The Struble Report" reports on 2009 radio sales. Bob Struble from iBiquity reports that 2009 was a "dynamite" year for his "HD" radio. "Twice as many radios were sold this year than last", reports Struble. "What a great year it was for 2009. Building on our success, we will continue the rollout in 2010". Year-end sales figures show that, after returns, eight radios were sold in 2009 as compared to the four radios sold the previous year. Most industry experts believe that two, possible three people actually listen to digital radio in the U.S. on a regular basis. This trend is expected to continue for the next 10 or so years. The Struble Report will be published weekly by iBiquity

Here we are in December of '09 and Struble is talking about last year? What's wrong with this picture. This guy is lost in space somewhere.

"HD Sales will be well over 8 million alone next year" Really? Don't count on it. Your predictions have been WRONG every year for the past 7 years.

By any measure it's a failure. It would have been abandoned by any rational person/investor a few years back but the investment was so reckless and huge that iBiquity and the "Alliance" have no other option but to push on hoping they will live long enough to see it catch on. Very unlikely in your or my lifetime. In any event, the return on the investment will probably never be realized. Show's what greed can do. Consumers (taxpayers) will take the hit - as usual. So go ahead, believe that it's a smashing success. There's no law against deceiving yourself. Have at it.

You must work for iBiquity. You can't seem to come up with an original thought.
