Internet radio...Now where were we?

[Richard Hardiman] Some time has passed since the finger-pointings of internet radio's "numbers-gate" (sessions-gate or netdynamix-gate) and the Earth, thankfully, seems to have continued moving in its orbit.

Hi Bob - correction! 12 gigs....I got a little happy with my "."!

But given that most people have a 5 gig plus plan and dont listen for anywhere near 30 day non-stop the impact is minimal.

Hi Bob,
Its a good point and one often presented to us. The truth is that the bit-rate we stream at means that if you listened to 2ov.fm for 24 hours over a period of a full month (30 days) the total usage would amount to roughly 1.2 gigs.

Given that most people have 5 gig plus (including uncapped) accounts we feel there is not a significant amount of damage to your bottom line.

We also offer a different value proposition to commercial stations that our audience feels very often negates "cost".

We are also very much of the belief that data will only get faster and cheaper and if we are at the worst point of cost right now, the future looks pretty good.
