"Let's start to talk about radio on the net. The question is, if the notion of radio is the right one for the praxis of what is called net.radio. We have a range of participants here, who have different approaches to practically define what net.radio is.
To start with, we just had a meeting in Berlin under the name 'net.radio days 98', and one of the interesting outcomes was the plurality of the definition of net.radio, so I think this is symptomatic to all kind of definitions such as 'art servers' or 'institution'.
I think we are in a time, where the technology follows the practise, so the practice is faster than the terms, or the bottom goes faster than the top."
