Two-tiered answer to aural hell
Friday, January 8, 2010 by Stewart Baines
I’d always imagined the nasty broadband monopolies would be in the vanguard of a two tiered internet. But no, sitting in the pretty lame Diner restuarant in Islington I realised it was the little folk appealing for some traffic prioritisation (of sorts). Pounding out of the restaurant’s speakers was All80sRadio, a streaming services comprising tunes that for a certain generation are a crime against humanity (think Bonny Tyler). Anyhow, All80sRadio appealed for fans of the internet radio station to go along to http://www.all80sradio.com/support.htm an donate via Paypal to support their development. In return, donors would be given the secret URL of where there is a high-quality stereo stream, rather than the lower quality coach class. Bonnie Tyler in stereo? Enough to make my hotdog sag.
