Re: [IRCA] KOFI coverage map

Don't forget that any broadcaster that does any kind of music programming will incur the RIAA wrath for internet-based stream royalties.
   
  I can just imagine someone out fishing or hunting, dragging along a 5-mile long cable so they can hear their favorite station on the internet.  Maybe they can equip moose with proper equipment so that can be a wireless access point!

  Pat, maybe so, and if that is true I think that will mean that large 
time broadcasters will be less important. That is because going to the 
internet means that a station joins the thousands of other big to little 
"internet broadcasters" on the cacophony in called the "web." In other 
words they will be a little fish in a HUGE pond like everyone else. 
Because of the east of putting on a "station" on the internet, more 
people will do it, and the number of listeners per station will go down. 
Also, add the fact that advertising revenues will not be there, and you 
have the potential of all traditional type broadcasters going away.
