- akiselev 6y agoThe point is that you couldn't publish without an FCC license, which required deep pockets. Publishing an RSS feed requires a host and a domain, which can be had today for a grand total of $70/year if one goes with the cheapest DigitalOcean VPS or under $20/year if one does a little research. Hosting a few MP3s and a text file that can be downloaded in a few seconds is a lot cheaper and easier than a video streaming setup (or a 10-20 kilowatt broadcast transmitter).
