Yesterday, Sarah McBride had an important article on the front page of the Wall Street Journal about the several Internet radio providers working to untether the content they distribute from the PC. She features Slacker prominently in the article, which I think is particularly compelling because it combines "music learning" techniques to customize your "station" with innovative yet relatively inexpensive delivery technologies (non-real-time satellite and WiFi). I've posted here about Slacker (use the search box on the right) and the other companies mentioned, so none of this is new to a careful reader, but she puts this together in a way that makes it hard for us legacy broadcasters to ignore the import of this development.
