The Texas-Arkansas football game is being broadcast on KTRH radio even
as I write this. The sound quality is awful: lots of static, narrow
bandwidth, and fading. I wondered what kind of string they were using on
their tin cans. The rotten quality was due to the network feed; local
commercials sound as good as ever.
Imagine my surprise when I heard a US Sprint commercial:
"You don't know it, but you've been sampling the high quality of US
Sprint's fiber optic network. ...only our fiber optics could make this
broadcast as high quality as it is."
Yeah, right.
