MINNEAPOLIS, MN. -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/09/2003 -- NBS Radio Corporation
announced today the release of the Global Access Radio, the first tabletop
radio able to access international Shortwave radio via Internet streaming
audio.

Well, DXing no longer requires a good aerial.

Didn't KERBANGO go bust with an earlier versio?

It might be very cool to have one, but I don't see a price
tag... http://www.nbsradio.com/globalaccessradio.html
Anyone know how much it costs?

And since it requires internet access to work, why not
just listen online if one wants to hear streaming audio?

It looks like an expensive toy to me. I'd rather use my
Grundig/Sony/Sangean portables : )

Yep, expensive toy ( Look at the picture)

SWR is the way to go...

So can anyone tell me ? ? ?

What would be the 'advantage' of this new internet radio ?
- That requires a wired hook-up to the WWW.
- - Over simply using XM or Sirius Satellit Radio?

No. Kerbango had a good product. So good that 3Com bought them out.
Unfortunately 3Com decided to shut down their entier consumer products
division which killed the Kerbango along with it.

However Kerbango was the first by several years. They did actually sell
a few. There was also one made by a European manufacturer, Philips,
which I think has gone through a few generations and is still for sale.

A google search on "philips internet radio" yeilded the following URL
from 2001.

So it is neither the first or the only.
