Yeah, crazy idea is right.  Lots of radio stations can't draw an audience
now even though everybody already has a radio.  These guys want to fix it

starting up a new radio band.

I can't wait until this concept is applied to retailing.  Struggling
stores
try to save the business by moving to the new mall out in the middle of
the
desert.

Let's not forget government coupons for all the batteries the digital
****tables will eat.
