Internet radio in your car coming soon

For most of us, Internet radio is our radio. We're all tired of the commercialism and corporate hold that the "majors" has on its content. FM is not tired technology, it's just not ours anymore, we can't relate.

One listener of DiscoInternet.com told its owner and program director Lee Porter sometime last year that he yearned for the day he will be able to listen to the disco shows in his car. I felt the same way. Now I know some might suggest that podcasts are available for downloads on the net, and disco ones too, but we feel streaming as opposed to downloading is fairer to the artists as royalties are paid for internet radio streams, therefore, internet radio in your car would be sort of like FM radio, that is, free for the listener!

Now the juicy part,... according to an article I read, and I'm translating here since the source is in French; "Thanks to the technology of Internet Mobile, first internet provider for the auto industry, Avis will be providing internet access in all cars for $10.95 per day. Autonet promise that the service will function on 95 percent of all US roads including tunnels. No software needed, a laptop or PDA will do"

The technology is now here, in time, others might embark on it and eventually the service could be free.

So anyone out there who had the opportunity to lease an Avis car with the internet service are welcome to post their opinions in regards to internet radio!
