Tekel, hereby submit my support for Mr. John Pavlica, Jr.'s Motion to Dismiss the Commission's Report and Order, as adopted October 10, 2002, which currently allows the preliminary use of In-Band, On-Channel (IBOC) digital audio broadcasting (also known by the marketing name "HD Radio") on the AM and FM radio bands. For over a decade, various attempts have been made at designing and implementing an IBOC system for the U.S. radio airwaves, but these attempts have been unsuccessful due to numerous flaws, and iBiquity's current IBOC system is no different. As currently designed and authorized, IBOC is an inherently flawed system that has the potential to cause great harm to the viability, effectiveness, and long-term success of existing analog AM and FM radio broadcasting services. IBOC is a proprietary system Currently, there is only one proponent of an IBOC system whose design has been submitted, studied, and approved -- that of iBiquity Digital Corporation (iBiquity). This is an unprecedented case of the use of a proprietary broadcasting system. Virtually all other enhancements to broadcasting services that have been introduced over the years have been borne out of competition between the designs of various proponents: AM Stereo, FM Stereo, color television, multi-channel television sound, and most recently, High Definition television (HDTV). Since the merger of USA Digital Radio, Inc.

The workshop is organised by the European Network on Integrating Vision and Language which is funded as a European COST Action. The VL workshops have the general aims: to provide a forum for reporting and discussing planned, ongoing and completed research that involves both language and vision; and to enable NLP and computer vision researchers to meet, exchange ideas, expertise and technology, and form new research partnerships. Research involving both language and vision computing spans a variety of disciplines and applications, and goes back a number of decades. In a recent scene shift, the big data era has thrown up a multitude of tasks in which vision and language are inherently linked. The explosive growth of visual and textual data, both online and in private repositories by diverse institutions and companies, has led to urgent requirements in terms of search, processing and management of digital content.

    It is a great pleasure for me to introduce CFTE's first research report "Fintech 50: 5 Years in Fintech". Our mission at CFTE is to help organisations and people transform themselves at a time when technology is quickly reshaping financial services. Some organisations will leverage technology and thrive. Others will not be able to adapt, and fall behind. The same will apply to people. But we hope that with the right knowledge, mindset and network, many will make the most of today's opportunities in finance. This report will hopefully help towards this goal, and give readers an understanding of how Fintech has evolved during the last 5 years - and give them some hints on how Fintech will further develop in the future. For the tens of thousands of CFTE participants around the world, you will notice that many of the concepts discussed in the courses can explain the developments mentioned in this report. Although the future is hard to predict, there are definitely some important trends that will continue to shape financial services. For me, if there was only one to mention, that would be the democratisation of financial services through technology, and that makes me very hopeful about the next 5 years in Fintech. Enjoy reading the report, and hope to see you join the CFTE community around the world.
