Just because the Internet delay is longer than the IBUZ delay doesn't 
make IBUZ any more useful at a ball game. I don't know anyone who 
brings a laptop to a game to listen. I suspect they already know the 
computer won't work. With IBUZ you're preventing every listener, both 
at home and at the stadium, from listening. I know many people in New 
York who bring a portable radio to the games. Because so many people 
watch games on TV and listen on radio the stations around here turn 
IBUZ off during games. When I scan the dial in the evening my Sony 
tuner will display a flashing logo (it won't lock). When stations run 
a game, most of them turn IBUZ off. The flashing logo is gone.
