Don't  miss the link to the proliferations of radio stations  at



Very impressive growth thru 2006. Im a bit surprised..  I wonder  if that 
trend is expected to continue, level off OR go the other way with the  
proliferation of web casting and other WWW forms of communication?  I hope  not but I 
don't think the general public - especially in very developed parts of  the 
world - understand the  major difference and benefits of broadcast  over-the-air 
programming and cable and/or WWW based broadcasts?  Can anyone  imagine a time 
when nothing is broadcast over the air and the only programming  you can have 
access to is with a direct, subscribed connection?  In the  Iron Curtain days 
the only ways they could deal with broadcast information were  jammers - but 
people still listened.  With the WWW it's the opposite issue  - you get only 
what "they" want you to get.  AND they can know when you get  it ...
