Yep... real convenient for those living in sub-Sahara Africa, China (yes,
they have internet, but no access to the sorts of things you could get on
international SW), N. Korea, many Pacific islands, etc., etc.

Also, there is the cost of buying and maintaining a device capable of streaming online audio vs the cost of buying a simple SW radio. My high speed internet costs close to $50 per month. How much does it cost to run a Iphone or similar device per month? Not everybody, especially people in poorer countries, can afford these extravagant devices.

Some think so. Many still don't.

The fools that have fallen for so called "Internet radio" do not realize
that they are
playing right into the hands of those who are profiling, tracking and
creating data bases on their personal habits.
In addition to knowing all your business, now they can easily monitor what
people listen to and derive intellectual
and attitude data..

What sheeple the dumbbells are that have bought the whole Internet BS-thing
without realizing how they're
turning over personal information by using these so called "replacements.".
