In the FM band, ibiquity only transmits the digital content in the guard bands of the FM station, so no wonder it's going to be heavily compromised. In the FM band, if you eliminate the analog signal and transmit pure digital, you should be able to approximately double the digital payload, it looks like. I think it's dumb to have all these incompatible digital radio standards.
