(2008-04-08) Wilson Streaming Music

Fred Wilson thinks the next stage for music is Streaming of Digital Media. I think of these web services as the new radio stations... There will be hundreds of them. All supported by advertising, just like traditional radio stations, and all of them licensed by rights holders (eventually), and all of them paying the rights holders a little coin every time their song is played. And because these services will be free to anyone who wants to listen, they will be very popular. (Internet Radio, Information Ecosystem Roadmap)
