Radio Is Going Digital
from the isn't-everything? dept
Just what we need: another standards battle between the US and the rest of the world. MSNBC is taking a look at digital radio, and how the US is using a standard different than the rest of the world. I still wonder about the overall future of radio itself. While the quality of digital radios may improve, I would think that as wireless data access increases, it would make more sense to do radio over IP instead of over radio waves. Clearly, that's a bit of a ways off, but I still wonder how big a future radio itself really has.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
