HD Radio: You can have a say in the future of this exciting new medium

From a news release:

National Public Radio Labs, along with partner WGBH National Center for Accessible Media, has been awarded a 3-year grant from NIDRR to prototype and field test technologies and services to be included in the next generation of commercial digital receivers that will best serve consumers with sensory disabilities. We are currently in the first phase of this grant - seeking out information from the "user community" about the types of features and technologies that should be considered for inclusion in the next generation of digital radios.

As a first step in this process, we would like to invite you and your constituents to tell us about the kinds of products, services, features and technologies you would like to see included in the next generation of radios. In order to facilitate this process, we have developed a questionnaire that we would very much appreciate you completing and returning by December 20th. You can respond as follows: you can go addresses for the hearing impaired or vision impaired to fill out our on-line survey.
