DRM Backers Eye China Olympics

Attendees of the NASB event reportedly also discussed the possible rollout of DRM receivers by the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

It’s a target date for multiple DRM broadcasts because China is promoting DRM as its digital radio format. “All were eager for the digital upgrade to the HC100 (HCJB Global’s 100 kilowatt) shortwave transmitter, which has the potential to reach China with digital programming,” according to the NASB meeting summary.

What right does anyone have to decide that applications filed by people that did not own Am of FM stations in 2003 should be dismissed? Apparently, the author forgets that these are small businesses for most commercial operators. Also, what business is it for the FCC to retroactively change the auction rules? While we're at it, let's just revoke, by lottery, one full-service license in every community, especially if it's owned by a corporation like CLear Channel. Obviously, group ownership is bad, right? Forcing group owners to donate one of their channels will free up space for LPFMs all over the place. Absurd? Yes, but do you see the slippery slope we're on? If the FCC can change the rules in mid-stream, then they can do it to anyone at any time. REC cannot determine which translator applications will be granted and which will be dismissed. Their model is faulty because it assumes that all translator applications will survive. Since all of the applications that are ungranted are exclusive with others, about half of the applications will be dismissed at the end of the settlement process. Process the auction 83 applications, then open an LPFM window. This will clear itself up if processed normally.
