I left my CURRY-FM Peercast running in belgium when I left yesterday. Somehow the signal had degraded and I was actually getting emails requesting I fix it, because folks were enjoying my playlist!
Peercast lets you steam audio to unlimited listeners without a centralized server. Your only cost in your [1] upstream, which can be any quality you prefer and can afford. Once the technology is solid, which I must say is pretty close, then it will become commonplace for your mp3 player to 'upstream' into the network, so anyone can listen in on your 'personal' radio signal.
Ofcourse there are much more powerful applications of this chaining technology. Certainly more interesting and compelling to me than the 'technology' Clear Channel is using in their radio-station rollup strategy.
