*Very* interesting - thanks for linking this up.
Do you mean to imply that rightsholders have been approached with
tales of "Was fantastic, but had to limit it to a couple of hundred
people within the BBC. Was a bit too popular for their own good" and
they turned it down?
not *exactly*... the 'it was too popular for its own good' refers to
various local radio stations having their bandwidth soaked up due to
people downloading stuff... not good for business, that...
haveever, i demo'd it to many people over the past couple of years,
from BBC Governors/Directors down, that if I get such a 100%
broadcast-powered automatic system knocked together for Not Much Cash,
then (almost) anyone can.... it ran for the first few weeks from a
greenhouse in someone's back garden near Ascot.
getting this built was fun too...
