Are you confusing radio (can easily use while driving) with tv (which you
cannot.)  Time to get a life, Craig.  This horse, too, is dead.

Hmmmm...

I wonder why Disney operates a series of low power radio transmitters
along I-75 and I-95 here in Florida?

Could it have something to do with the need to get targeted
information to people who are traveling?

Stop spinning (your wheels) John.

People DO want access to the same things they get from wired networks
when they are "untethered."
