Lee,

   FYI, Jacob is with AOL, Fabian is not :)  I would suspect this died with the
sale of  Winamp and Shoutcast to Radionomy.  I used to work in the Internet 
Access and Streaming Operations groups at AOL and yes it was very cool that we 
offered free bandwidth / streaming.  This was mostly due to AOL having plenty 
of spare bandwidth and their own backbone via ATDN.
