Wasn't BROADCAST.COM audio over the Internet? Didn't yahoo purchase BROADCAST.COM and has generated significant revenue from it? The founders of BROADCAST seemed to do okay...

Perhaps BROADCAST.COM was somehow different than IP, but history (and current success of yahoo) seem to refute the statement, "IP is not now, nor is it likely to ever be, a sensible way to broadcast audio". This also seems to refute the monopolistic appeal of XMSR with regards to reaching people who listen to radio from a stationary, remote location.
