Does New Technology Equal the Demise of Radio?

I’ve been researching different ways of distributing audio content and came across an interesting article. In this piece the author is responding to “old school” radio people who are predicting the end times for radio as new technologies (in this piece cell phone radio) come about. Yes, cell phone radio! I’ve been playing with it for the past few days and there are some good services out there. The best in my opinion are those that don’t require the user to download any software and don’t use the data network (incurring data charges on the users end) but simply function like a phone call (which only consumes a users minutes). But the technology is a bit young and from my experience also a bit ‘buggy’…but a cool idea!
