I certainly hope radio never goes totally online.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Do you think radio will ever go totally on line?

Greetings,

No, I don't.

There will always be satelite radio, I am sure radio broadcast over the air
will remain in some form.

I certainly would not like to be restricted to online only, I enjoy the
freedom of being able to carry my portable around and listen to good quality
(at present mostly fm) as I reckon the DAB we use in the UK is inferior to
the systems now being ported in Europe (DAB Plus) but maybe in time, we will
adopt the better system, giving a much truer sound, better, even than our
current fm facilities, which, I believe are very good considering it is now
quite a deal over fifty years old!

from now over the air radio as we know it will be gone.  Do you -agree or
not?  Do you want to have to always be online to listen to the -radio or do
you want the portability of radio?  I would like to hear -your thoughts on
this.  This is the 1 hundred anaversery of radio so -what do you see for the
future of radio?  Radio has stood the test of -time unlike many
technologiesdispite people predicting it's demise.  If -you listen to sports
then you still need to have a radio because many -games are not being
broadcasted on line.
