Dialup works very well for talk radio streams.

No it doesn't, and I can attest to that from personal experience.


That is what we call "anecdotal evidence" and it is unsupported by the
science.

Well, stick your head in the sand if you're more comfortable in that
position, then, but I was on a 56K dialup, which in my area resulted
in an average connection speed of ~48K and often slower, due to the
limitations of the local telco network. The results for streaming
audio left a lot to be desired.

You've still said nothing about the other half dozen points I raised,
so I'll assume you have no rebuttal. Ergo, we can conclude that
Internet streams are no substitute for live, on-the-air broadcasts.
