Furthermore, it might be nice for Americans living, working, or visiting the UK (or other places for that matter) to listen the the House and Senate whilst away.

This also applies to British people in the US. Only the Internet could bring you the joys of your home parliament (or whatever) available on any machine in the world.

I think Carl has the right approach with what he is trying to do. He is clearly demonstrating that this kind of international service is easy(ish) to do on the Internet, but completely infeasible with other existing technologies, their sky high transmission costs, and their controllng interests.

The more streams of live source material that are available, which are beyond the editorial control of some radio or TV station the better.

I agree with people who are worried about the bandwidth usage. Maybe this will encourage more people to run a pruning mrouted.

Keep it up Carl.
