Yep; and they are about to deliver multi-channel OTA and from the sky. But
if they start compressing and limiting and EQing the heck out of the music
like they have done on analog AM and FM I will not listen!

XMRadio and Sirius have about 4 Mbps of capacity in which to deliver
what a 100 programs? Our mobile TV plan includes 6 digital radio
programs using almost 500 Kbps.

Depends on what your using. We plan on using MPEG-4 HE-AAC + Parametric
Stereo and statistical multiplexing which would guarantee at least 96
Kbps per program channel. I think that will suffice.

Maybe you are figuring MPEG-1 and 83 Kbps.
