 I'm sure this will impact on non-USA net-stations as well since much the
content is US produced music. A real downer for me since i-net radio is my
only relief from the banalities of AM, and the only FM station receivable in
most parts of northern Canada is CBC-FM. DAMN. Bye,bye to my jazz and
classical stations. I guess I'll have to settle for Radio Cuba on SW. :^)

 The US corporate beast is getting VERY greedy. They may bite off more
than they can chew, if they wake up enough of the US populace.
