[BC] Top Ten reasons why IBOC won't make much difference...

[Ron Castro]

I don't recall any IMTS mobile phones that fit in my pocket, Dana.  Also, 
they had only 32 channels for an entire city, you had to call an operator, 
put a big box in the back of your car and a 150 MHz vertical on it too.  The 
cost was horrific and there were huge areas with no coverage.  That was 
*not* a valid analogy.
