Howard Wen talks about internet broadcasting with Peer to Peer technology. "First there was AM. Then FM. Now, the next evolution in radio broadcast technology could very well be "P2P." What could be even more controversial than Internet radio/audio broadcasting--which has made headlines this year over the issue of royalty payments--and P2P file sharing? Probably the merging together of these banes of the music industry. Two P2P clients, PeerCast and Streamer, are exactly that. Without the need to have your own dedicated server, these programs let you stream audio files to other users on a P2P network. Essentially, you can run your own Internet radio station whenever you start up your computer and get online."
