[BC] Listening in the car

 Two misconceptions here I can't let go by- first, few podcasts contain
music- podcasts are generally talk programs so music licensing in not a
issue.   I think a licensing solution for music stations that want to stream
will eventurally be found but net-users who are looking for music generally
go to music vendors and download just what they want to hear anyway.

 And yes, podcasters have bandwidth fees, but this is far less than the
overhead for traditional broadcasters.  The fact that there are hundreds of
successful podcasters on right now and more coming on line every day shows
the economics can work.  Podcasting is not a untested blue-sky theory- it's
a full-fledged and growing industry who's practicality is being proven every
day.
