With all this discussion of digital communication frameworks, real
and potential, there's one medium that hasn't yet been mentioned:
digital radio.
I'd like to know what experience, if any, list members have had with
digital radio. I've heard that digital radios have come down in
price to something halfway reasonable--possibly as low as $50. The
advantage: once you have the set, the signals are free; no
subscription charges. Just turn the set on, like those other old-
fashioned over-the-air broadcast media. The disadvantage: digital
radio broadcasting isn't nearly as common as FM or AM stations. (It
would be no fun to take your shiny new digital radio out of the box,
turn it on, and get---static.)
So does anybody out there have a digital radio--or do your friends
have them--and if so, what's your/their experience?
I'm especially interested in the presence (or absence) of digital
radio broadcasting in the National Capitol Area.
