The Buzz: Digital Radio
By this fall, expect a push towards digital radio, which is already in many US markets. The sets will set you back from 200-1700 bucks. But they'll offer much-enhanced quality, and the ability to multicast: receiving more than one stream of information from the same station. How will they compete against satellite radio? That's the question. More on digital radio here.

I can't see this impacting satellite radio all that much. HD radio still won't match the variety of programming on satellite, and you can't listen to the same stations on long trips. Also, for many years multicast programming will probably only be available in major cities where the terrestrial stations have a lot of money to provide this service.
