Does anyone know of available data in which the average consumer cost of 
Eureka 147 receivers is computed over a ten year period?    It would be 
interesting to see this information and extrapolate it onto a time-line for 
the iBiquity product, taking total potential market size into consideration 
(e.g., U.S. versus Canada or Europe).  My guess is that iBiquity has already 
done the forward-looking work but it may not be available for public 
disclosure.

Hopefully, HD Radio production will advance quickly enough to the point 
where we're not paying $500 for a "clock radio" type of receiver.
