Ibiquity perceived correctly that, except for execution
of the implementation, engineers were irrelevant to the
process of the transition from analog to digital.

The Lucent system they discarded probably was better,
and there is no question DRM in the compatible mode
can reduce interference on the AM side, but Ibiquity
bought their ticket and now they intend to ride.

Going over past history is a waste of time and anyone
who is really interested can find it on the web in
one of several places I posted a couple of days ago.
