No mystery here, really... the head honcho of engineering at CBS is Glynn 
Walden, formerly of iBiquity and its predecessor, USA Digital Radio.  It's no 
exaggeration to call him "the father of IBOC".  Aside from him hanging his 
career and reputation on IBOC, CBS has funded IBOC development since day one, 
and that goes back well over 20 years now.  Can you say "vested interest"?
