The Internet has made possible a number of technologies and services that would have been unimaginable only a few decades ago. Live chatting, video conferencing, video streaming…all these and more are services that have gone beyond the sci-fi visions of yesteryear and have become almost commonplace in this day and age. One other technology that has made the rounds of the online world is Internet radio streaming, and countless people all over the world are making use of this innovative technology in radical new ways.
It is now easier than ever to be a broadcaster or a DJ in your online radio show. With the help of a computer, a microphone, a set of speakers, a suitably fast and stable Internet connection, and Internet radio streaming software, you could be burning up the virtual airwaves in no time. All of that may seem like a lot of requirements to be sure, but realizing everything that you get in return should put things in perspective. Besides, that list is still a lot less equipment than you would need to launch and maintain a traditional radio station.
