Re: Killing off the little guy (this time it\'s internet radio)
I would think that Nielsio would like this decision. I would be willing to wager that record labels and internet radio stations could work out agreements so that the stations could pay less than the FCC price if they wanted you. If the FCC had sided with the internet radio stations, they could have paid an artificially low price. There is no reason why the record labels should have to give permission to the radio staions to play their songs at all, much less at a reduced price. The FCC decision actually increases market freedom.
