First Internet Radio Standards Released
Using IBC 2009 as a backdrop, the Internet Media Device Alliance (IMDA) unveiled a first-ever "baseline" certification standard set for dedicated Internet radio appliances at Sept. 7 press event.

John Ousby, an IMDA steering committee member and director of broadcaster services for Vtuner called the move an important step for continued rapid growth in online radio.
