Internet radio on a mobile 'phone will be all about portability and
choice of channels, audio quality won't be an issue, so streaming at
32kbps or less is quite likely.


There are over 8,000 Internet radio streams on shoutcast.com using 128
kbps or higher, and a third of all UK commercial radio stations are using
128 kbps. Don't see why you think 32 kbps will be common for Internet
radio streams, to be honest.

The adoption of DAB was the most incompetent technical
decision ever made in the history of UK broadcasting:

Perhaps it won't but what I'm saying is that mobile broadband internet radio
will become more popular than portable radio receivers, whether AM, FM or
DAB. If adequate quality for the purpose is available at only 32kbps, then
bandwidth is no bar to this developing.
