But this can be fixed JD by simply streaming UDP as opposed to HTTP. Also,
multicast technology is available NOW that essentially eliminates all the
multiple hops-people simply haven't adopted it yet.

My point exactly. Internet streaming of radio stations is NOT a direct Barix
type stream. It goes through several hops before getting to the listener,
add in the needed compression to make it available to mass numbers and the
latency is murder. This is why stations don't do live contesting targeted at
internet listeners. They are way too far behind the listening curve.
