Re: [Swprograms] Kol Israel streaming audio

["Rob de Santos" <rdesantos@xxxxxxxxx>]

The press release is absent any explanation other than "corporate speak" for the
shutdowns. I wonder what the real reasons are - lack of product? lack of use?
Cost? Too much use? 

It's possible that the French and German services might not have had sufficient
programming any longer but that wouldn't explain shutting down the on-demand for
all services. 

Managing multiple web sites myself, I know that bandwidth is increasingly
expensive [aside: for no apparent reason other than growth in demand that I can
determine]. However, I would think that solutions other than a complete shutdown
would be possible. (For example, redirecting selected programming back to the
source broadcaster's site rather than their own servers. Some programs, such as
Glenn Hauser's WOR, were likely carried gratis or at minimal cost.)

No, I already asked.  They--that is, the on-demand services, are all being shut
down.
