The Internet Streaming Receiver is real and it’s here<\/a>. Add to that the new Yahoo! Music service<\/a>
\nthat let’s you stream all the music you want from a selection one
\nmillion songs for $4.99 a month.  The only piece that is left is
\nthe ubiquitous Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

Once you have high speed broadband “everywhere”, I think devices like
\nthe Torian InFusion and other portable devices that didn’t make sense
\nwithout high speed Internet access, will really take off.  The
\nsame thing will happen for applications and services too.  Imagine
\nif the music services were more like the old Napster where you could
\nfind all kinds of old music that is part of the catalog of the big
\nmusic companies that they can’t or won’t provide for copyright or
\nbusiness reasons.  This is the long tail again<\/a>.  <\/p>\n

My dream is a time when you can take your portable Internet Streaming
\nReceiver and listen to anything that has ever been recorded, anywhere,
\nwhenever you want.  The first step is devices like the Torian
\nInFusion.  The next step is wireless broadband everywhere, or at least<\/a> everywhere<\/a> where I live<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The last part may be the most difficult.  Under the current
\ncopyright law there are many works in the back catalog of the record
\ncompanies that they “can’t” release because they are unable to find the copyright holders<\/a>.  At least that is one of the arguments I’ve heard brought out by the record companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
