Steve, Thanks for the response re: net radio becoming more like broadcast radio with interstitial revenue based ads. My main question is more focused on the concept of usage based billing where the end user pays incrementally for the bandwidth used. If this happens then I think the main issue is that net radio would not get the listener base if must pay for the packets that are sent...as well as listen to ads. Do you see usage based billing becoming a reality for the internet? EDIT: saw your response to Tastes Like Chicken on usage based billing. If so, how do you see this affecting the internet stocks in general? JXM
