I run a tiny ISP in the Philippines where bandwidth prices a super high (64 Kbps = US$4,000). I would like to supply the Pinoys (Filipinos) around the world a chance to listen to a local radio station, but frankly, the bandwidth cost too much. What I was thinking was if I could put out only one stream to a friendly ISP in the USA (where bandwidth is very cheap) maybe it could be relayed there and I could give a little bit of "home" to a number of overseas workers just trying to make a living for their families back home. For example, my site (http://fil.net) is also mirrored in the USA on Pair Networks... Would it be possible to establish say a radio.fil.net somewhere that could take my one radio stream and feed it to a number of requesters. I doubt the bandwidth would be that high. I could even switch stations on a daily basis... DYMY on Sunday, DYSR on Monday, DYEM on Tuesday... etc. Any ideas? Any friendly ISP's like a 3rd world project? aLan -- I switched from When?Doze NT... I never knew "When?" It was going to "Doze!"
