[AusNOG] My Predictions for the ISP Industry

[Jake Anderson]

My understanding is they aren't going to ditch analog radio.
Too much power required to get enough coverage to do regional areas, 
like more than 5 minutes from the CBD.

That and most cars these days have integrated radios and have a 10+ year 
lifespan and manufacturers have only just started integrating digital 
radios (like i think there is 1 car with built in digital)
