Oh well.  Somebody else in this forum just got done telling me,
"Listeners don't care about quality", so it shouldn't be an an issue.
People want variety, and lots of stations.  And that's what IBOC-FM

BTW:

IBOC does have an advantage over DAB.  DAB only has room for ~100 kbps
per station.  IBOC provides each digital FM station with 300 kbps.
