I have heard that they are seriously trying to make it happen, but it's got a lot of obstacles.

The main thing is you would get your internet from basically a cell phone tower, and everytime you switch between towers as you drive you would lose your connection.

Plus it could be very expensive obviously.

But they are working on it! And when the day comes that it's available internet radio could EXPLODE if the RIAA doesn't shut it down before that.

Sounds like a cool idea, but I can't really imagine the logistics on that. It would have to be way harder than the PCS phone signals to manage.  Cell site hand offs would have to be a nightmare.

You KNOW they'll do it eventually though Mema.

NOTHING is impossible anymore, just a matter of time.

I can, and have done it now.

I have mobile internet through my cellphone service. My cell phone connects to my laptop with a USB cable and the laptop sees it as a modem. Then I just dial up the connection which runs at about 140k max which is plenty fast for a 64k stream.

The problem is that my cellphone service specifically says the service is NOT to be used for media streaming. I have unlmited nationwide data transfer so the bandwidth wouldn't be an issue for me, but I don't want to take a chance on losing my only option for mobile internet just to listen to internet radio.

I know.  I can just imagine getting into the office on Monday and being asked to provide a level of effort statement to get that service up and running. It will happen some day.
