[BC] Digital Radio Express

[Ernie Belanger]

No I believe we are being rightfully cautious.

iBiquity and HD Radio are registered trade marks of iBiquity Digital 
Corporation.  If one uses their names in a posting that is less than 
complimentary then one potentially has opened themselves up to a legal 
problem.

Believe me they have and do spend millions on lawyers and I know of at least 
two folks there who lurk on the lists, all lists.

So rather than risk a problem of improper use of trade marked names, perhaps 
everyone on the list should agree to use Iradio or Hradio to avoid confusion 
and the generic IBOC when they mean the generic IBOC.

A thought

For the record, I understand FMeXtra works with the DRM as well.
