Re: [Swprograms] Cellphones Finally Make Radio Mobile - Yes in the UK

["Mark Hawkins" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here in London you can buy a month's "unlimited" data on a 3G mobile phone
for five pounds.

In practice "unlimited" is up to one gigabyte of data in the month so many
hours of cellphone powered radio listening.

You can drive around London listening to streaming radio stations and I
often do !
