I merely contend that having a fat pipe does little good if the pipe is clogged. I experienced this first hand in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when anything with a 504 area code was impossible to reach for over a week. At that point radio is a vital option, and by that I mean broadcast radio. All you need is a receiver (which are ubiquitous to say the least) and you're good to go. No bandwidth issues, no connectivity worries, etc. Thanks for joining the conversation! @joshasbury I am a huge fan of streaming radio and the platform’s evolution into the virtual space.

Seeing as how streaming media and larger pipes are making internet radio more and more viable. I do see the value in adding an FM chip to cell phones, but I also wonder why it is a necessity.
