Subject: Re: Forward: DAB prospects depend on non-radio applications

I'm not a magician and I cannot predict the future for anything.

However, history bears that the initial price of new technology is high
until the mass market hits. Maybe this is a major mistake in pricing by
the manufacturers, but historically, this is how they price most new
products.

However, I have personal knowledge of a new product (sorry, but
confidentiality prohibits disclosure) that will DECREASE manufacturing
costs due to design and will DECREASE manufacturing costs due to the
quality control built in unit-to-unit based on the design. Therefore,
we may have a new product that can be priced with dramatic cost savings
and many benefits to the users which will make it sell at or below the
current market price at a larger gross margin.

Let's see. The product, although it utilizes RDS, is not dependent on
RDS for the benefits described.

The news announcement should hit the press shortly.  [MODERATOR'S NOTE:
It it has to do with DAB, please post the press release in RADIO-L.]

Please watch.

We are talking radio receivers here. Sales of 60 million units per year
potential! Radios with ten times better tuning capability.
