If you haven't already, read up on the tragedy surrounding Edwin Howard Armstrong (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Howard_Armstrong" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Howard_Armstrong</a>)<p>Edwin invented FM radio which RCA saw as a threat to its AM empire (much like Edison saw Tesla's AC method of power distribution as a threat to DC). Edwin committed suicide after being bankrupted by RCA's legal onslaught. He never got to see FM radio become a success.
