[BC] Listening in the car

[Steve Newman]

I'm trying to see how money can be made. Most of these will remain (as long 
as they can) hobby type operations. There are way too many of them and I 
don't see how they're going to make money. I'm sure many have and many will 
fall by the wayside. Until you can reach the total audience at a reasonable 
streaming price it's not going to work. Also, it's not (yet) portable. It's 
getting there but there's more work to be done. I meant to tell you I'm 
working satellite radio as well and keeping my eye on streaming. I just have 
to get the business model solidly in my head. It's like the Wild West right 
now....which is fine...but until there's a bit more control I'll have 
trouble with it. Then again, maybe not. I'm open. I'm also a Libran and I 
have trouble when things are wild and out of balance. :)
