mmm - can't wait, I'm sure... But if what you say is right, why hasn't
this cellphone "major impact" already affected radio? It's true we heard a

Oh joy. 2 million people with their cellphones streaming fuzzy live
media. What an utter bore. It will have not the slightest affect on "other
media" I suspect.
