This IS the future of radio! Think about it. You can listen to your
favorite station while surfing the net. What you DON'T have to
put up with: IBOC issues. Antenna bandwidth issues. Tower
zoning issues. Tower maintenance issues. Multipath. Indecency
issues. Transmitter issues. NRSC issues. FCC issues.

The number of Internet stations is not limited by contour or
distance. Anyone can operate an Internet station. This will
increase competition, provide greater format diversity, help
exposure for minority and foreign language broadcasters and
create a new market for EAS equipment manufacturers (EAS
will, of course, be mandated for all Internet broadcasters).
Advertisers will be able to target their goods to their intended
audience. Format consultants will find a new market. Arbitron
will be able to precisely monitor TSL and number of listeners.
It's a win-win situation!
