There are some internet "radio" stations. I use launch.com where you can watch music videos and listen to music. It is free and you can cusomize your own radio station. A guy who I work with has used shoutcast.com and is now using musicmatch radio. For musicmatch he pays a small (~$3/month) fee and gets cd quality music. I'd agree that there really aren't that many big ones. The biggest problem I see (and have) is the web traffic/buffering issue. The guy across the hall says that he doesn't have any problems getting music w/o interuption. Maybe paying a small subscription fee would work better than selling "airtime" for internet radio.
