Heck of a way to kill a low budget/low revenue industry.
This will remove a lot of stations that would cater to niche markets. I'm guessing that this will hurt sales for newer acts.
I wonder if many of these stations may migrate out of the US? Perhaps an opportunity here created by short-sightedness? A lot of internet radio listeners will be looking for replacement internet stations.
