This is a flaw in the iBiquity non-marketing strategy because the public is and will continue to be massively indifferent. People will not go for HD radio receivers, so HD on AM will likely fail in the marketplace. Current AM listeners will either continue to listen to their stronger local stations in analog as long as there is analog. When/if analog goes away it will be too late because those listeners will go somewhere else. And the portion of the IBOC-enabling rules which seek to preclude suits by stations will also likely fall inasmuch as it is a unilateral contract where all of the power is in iBiquity's hands; and also as it violates due process.
