Mandatory HD? Siriusly??

Apparently the FCC thinks that maybe it should require Sirius/XM Radio to include HD Radio capabilities on all their new receivers. The FCC is taking comments on such issues as impact on reception and manufacturer cost.

This is another brain dead attempt to force-fit Radio and make it seem like the public can't live without it. They can and do -- quite nicely. How about forcing broadcasters not to suck so much, so that CUSTOMERS force Sirius/XM to include traditional Radio access into their product?

The possible FCC enforcement is more akin to forcing Wendy's to produce and giveaway free Big Macs.
