Don't forget that any broadcaster that does any kind of music programming will incur the RIAA wrath for internet-based stream royalties. I can just imagine someone out fishing or hunting, dragging along a 5-mile long cable so they can hear their favorite station on the internet. Maybe they can equip moose with proper equipment so that can be a wireless access point! Mike

That is because going to the internet means that a station joins the thousands of other big to little "internet broadcasters" on the cacophony in called the "web." In other words they will be a little fish in a HUGE pond like everyone else. Because of the east of putting on a "station" on the internet, more people will do it, and the number of listeners per station will go down. Also, add the fact that advertising revenues will not be there, and you have the potential of all traditional type broadcasters going away.
