The press release is absent any explanation other than "corporate speak" for the shutdowns. I wonder what the real reasons are - lack of product? lack of use? Cost? Too much use?
It's possible that the French and German services might not have had sufficient programming any longer but that wouldn't explain shutting down the on-demand for all services. Managing multiple web sites myself, I know that bandwidth is increasingly expensive [aside: for no apparent reason other than growth in demand that I can determine]. However, I would think that solutions other than a complete shutdown would be possible. (For example, redirecting selected programming back to the source broadcaster's site rather than their own servers. Some programs, such as Glenn Hauser's WOR, were likely carried gratis or at minimal cost.) -- -Rob de Santos -----Original Message----- From: Swprograms [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Figliozzi Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 1:30 PM To: Joe Buch; Shortwave programming discussion Subject: Re: [Swprograms] Kol Israel streaming audio No, I already asked.
