IP for radio is an important topic for engineers right now. If you doubt that, consider that at least 10 presentations at the spring NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference will deal with IP and related subjects, including a full series of sessions in the prime Sunday slot. (Watch for Radio World’s new eBook on this topic coming in the next week or so.)
