What has made the new global radio stations possible is that, unlike old-fashioned wireless radio, the new radio stations broadcast their signals not over the airways but down the telephone lines. No costly radio transmitters and relay stations are needed; no licence is required for using the world's precious frequency spectrum. All it demands is a personal computer and a modem at the broadcasting station and, at the listening end, the same plus a pair of loud-speakers.

OBS

Global radio is the latest manifestation of the www. The key has been the development of a certain piece of software that allows a digital recording stored on a computer to be transmitted over the Internet and played instantly and continuously as it is received by the listener’s computer in real-time.

OBS

If you take a local FM station as the standard you will be disappointed with the broadcast quality of streaming audio received via the Web. But you will be favorable impressed if you compare it with a portable shortwave receiver.

OBS

Providing transfer rates comparable to a T1 line at about 1. 5 Mbps, HDSL receives information and sends information at the same high Internet speed through a modem or wireless connection, but it requires two different lines that are separate from your phone line. So if you are not uploading a lot you have no need for this.

CONT

HDSL (High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line), one of the earliest forms of DSL, is used for wideband digital transmission within a corporate site and between the telephone company and a customer. The main characteristic of HDSL is that it is symmetrical: an equal amount of bandwidth is available in both directions. HDSL can carry as much on a single wire of twisted-pair cable as can be carried on a T1 line.
