Killing the Golden Goose?

I found an interesting article this morning. In it, Chris Taylor talks about how Internet radio stations face some daunting challenges relating to new government and royalty fees.

It raises an interesting counter point to an issue that I raised in a recent article. While telcos and cableco hope to avoid regulation on IPTV and VoIP by claiming they are different from their traditional counterparts, the web radio providers in Taylor's article are truly different from their "broadcast" brethren. It shows that the new applications of telecommunications, whether it be IPTV, VoIP, satellite or web radio, need to be mindful of how their new positioning fit within the existing regulation and royalty frameworks.
