the future of broadcasting
We have had podcasting for some time, but the Human Computer Interaction Institute has a new concept to offer - roadcasting.
What it boils down to, is broadcasting digital audio or music from an automobile over a short distance - the expected range would be up to 30 miles. Just as podcasting has created the armchair DJ, so roadcasting will give the opportunity to create, tailor and broadcast your own radio station.
As with any successful peer to peer networks, the critical mass is gained when you have many users sharing and creating their own content. The exciting possibilities of roadcasting (especially with the higher Wi-Fi use - expected introduction of Wi-Max) is the producer and listener control over smart filtering. If we combine this with the already increased use of internet and satellite radio, it seems that a significant shift in radio use could be looming.
