As a shoutcaster I would have to say this is pretty much what you would
expct form yahoo. They are looking to gooble up lots of the infrastructure
and content sites around the net.

No surprise. But man is Broadcast.com and RA in general a load. I have run
across more than one RA and broadcast.com based streams which will not
think about using Shoutcast because of some "exclusive use" clause they
signed. IM still waiting to see one of these in text before i cast serious
frown on Boradcast.

There are some funky and often crazy motions going on in the netcasting
world. Shoutcasters are defiently being marked as the low power FM pirates
though.
