    Thank you for the link Barry. I know the PBS station in Detroit has 
been working on this for quite a while. If I am not mistaken, it is a 
fairly wide amount of data being made available for who knows what. If 
developed right, this could be a good deal. The only down side I see is 
that for personal body RF penetration, a single DTV transmitter every 50 
miles or so is not going to put out enough RF in enough places. A data 
stream on IBOC FM would be just about any place. I still see the cell 
people walking away with this.

    Still, I give Kudos to the PBS people. Does anyone have any links to 
more details on the system? I'll be at the PBS stations's TV tx site 
tomorrow night for the West Michigan SBE summer hot dog thing.
