			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>So <a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070219-8879.html" rel="nofollow" target="_new">is this</a> the start of yet another monopoly?</p>
<p>Why hasn&#8217;t anyone else gotten into this? It&#8217;s not like there are major infrastructure setup pains involved &#8211; just buy a darn satellite and start broadcasting &#8211; it&#8217;s not like it&#8217;s hard to do for someone with a lot of cash and people &#8211; something that matches all media companies!</p>
<p>Content is the big challenge of course. So any of the big guys with content, could easily started a satellite radio service. So why hasn&#8217;t anyone done it?</p>
<p>When are they going to make it easy for you and me to start our own radio stations? Oh wait, <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcasts.html" rel="nofollow" target="_new">we can do that already</a> <img src='http://ravisrants.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8230;.</p>
<p>Ok, now I get it. It is because On-broadcast (push) radio cannot compete with On-demand (pull) radio.</p>
<p>The consumer wins, after all.</p>
