Well, thats half of it... Though, I think a stand alone open source app is more what I'm thinking about. Something to get everyone involved in both directions. Obviously you have the royalty payment question but I'm willing to support a little illicit activity... :)

application isn't the DJ stuff though. Its building a 'radio' application that
doesn't suck and is appealing to the kids (especially the collegiate linux
kids)
(and before anyone says "Vic and Vat already exist" - they aren't good enough
-
protocol maybe, interface no way). If the kids adopt this in college and start
to really want it the pressure they exert on the market as they enter the real
world will push more ISPs to offer multicast.

At that point things like conference calls, video streaming, and new
applications will start to be adopted by the wider market and we'll see some
real progress.

Just my thoughts on it.
