Isn't this the same as  Sirius?

	we can stream audio to cars over that specturm.. allow users to
choose what they want/when they want it.   Honestly, do any of us not
see that a radio could (and maybe should) include audio streaming?

I see this discussion as going off topic (and I'm to blame too), but
find it useful, interesting, and probably necessary.  Putting on the
"blinders" and saying this doesn't affect me eventually leads to "geez,
now it affects me".  Makes me think of the old saying about allowing
things to happen and not standing up to say "no", then finding that when
it happens to you there's no one left to say "no".  
 
Our field is broadcasting.  Our specialty is engineering (though most of
us know more than just engineering).  I wonder how we got to this day
when it really appears the government potentially could remove OTA TV
from existence (if not a big part of OTA)?   And where does it stop?
Will Nextel, AT&T, Verizon, or some new unnamed corporation suggest to
our government "hey, we'll give you $10B for all that 'wasted FM space',
plus 15% gross" and the "powers that be" will then say (and honestly
so), we can stream audio to cars over that specturm.. allow users to
choose what they want/when they want it.   Honestly, do any of us not
see that a radio could (and maybe should) include audio streaming?   And
yes, that could easily come from cell spectrum and other places, but
certainly there are/were options to taking away TV spectrum on this
recent "initiative".
 
So, my friends and collegues in broadcasting... where is the line
between "this is an engineering topic" and "this is a political topic".
Seems to me that the government has already blurred that line pretty
well.
 
As always... just an opiniion, for what it's worth.

Because others have said the same thing. And thank you for not
respecting my opinion.
I'm a member of this list, and I'm entitled to express an opinion. Just
as you are.

Nothing is being censored. The suggestpon was to take it to the
appropriate outlet.

Thanks chris but you should respect everyones opionion and let the
moderator do his job. Why make a comment like this if it is not your
business to do so? Why do you feel so entitled? I think that this topic
has been the most interesting yet and it shouldn't be sensored. I'm
sorry to everyone else for my off topic comment i will not make another.

Some find this thread useful, some find it annoying. It has moved beyond
the established scope of the list. And with the voiced opinions, it is
ready to move to the more open forum of sbe-chat.

I'm not the moderator, but that's my opinion.
