* live streaming possibilities on the net

In 1997 more and more net.radio stations and live net.audio projects emerged in the internet - the huge variety of all those projects was apparent.

Different models of 'how radio can be on the net' and conception of 'what to broadcast', different background and experiences - realised now in this new media - made development of net.radio really promising. 

Although - there still are not that many everyday/24h broadcasting Internet 'radios'. Those also often might have the concept closer to traditional radios, some of them might have on-air radio background (e.g. B92/Belgrade), but mostly those are radios - which simultaneously are re-broadcasting the same on-air radio programmes also on-line.

So called web- or net- radios, which are streaming only in to the internet, either have regular broadcasting times (e.g. Interface/London - everyday, OZOne/LV and Pararadio/Budapest - once a week) or they do non-regular live sessions (MZX/Ljubljana) announcing them via mailinglists or other information channels.

Very important use of the live streaming on the net is transmission from the events (festivals, conferences, clubs, sound art projects, etc). 
And the most exiting thing about live transmissions is collaborative broadcasting, experiments with live streams, mixing them and creating the loops.
