What they are going to do is produce talk radio programs in professional
audio studios, and then instead of broadcasting on the air, they will
convert it all to a large (estimated about 15MB) sound file, which is
then widely distributed using ftp, and played by anyone who wants,
on their workstation (or a PC with a sound card).

I have an article on it, if you want me to send it to you, let me know.

Is that related to Internet TV, where professionally produced television
shows are converted to digital video (a la Quicktime), and then the 200mb
file is ftp'ed to the world? :->
