I do have a bit of inside-scoop on what is going on. Some broadcasters
are being call as witnesses, and this is going to escalate. Keefe has
at leaset BMW and Volvo by the throat with their HD Radio TSBs and HD
Radio Trouble-Shooting Guides, by forcing consumers to pay extra for
technology that doesn't work. Keefe is getting A LOT of complaints
from consumers. The investigation is still in its early stages.
