Successful Promotion on the Web
Published in Tom Hutchison, Paul Allen, Web Marketing for the Music Business, 2013
Internet radio—often referred to as webcasting and sometimes as streaming audio or radio—is the concept of broadcasting much like a radio station, but via the Internet in lieu of a terrestrial signal. The obvious advantage over terrestrial radio is the absence of geographical limitations. Although the success of Internet radio has risen and fallen with the expenses associated with payments of performing rights royalties, it has consistently been a successful outlet for indie labels and emerging recording artists who do not always expect to be compensated for airplay of their music. Terrestrial radio airplay has been the key to selling recorded music since the days of early radio. It is still the most commonly used form of marketing new music to audiences and potential customers. But it is impossible for independent artists to gain much exposure through radio airplay on traditional terrestrial radio stations. Satellite radio, with its broader playlists and multitude of stations, has offered some opportunities for niche music, but Internet radio is the bastion of hope for frustrated emerging artists seeking exposure for their music. There are literally thousands of independent radio stations and Web 2.0 has created opportunities for anyone to create and manage their own online radio station with the playlist of their choice.Internet radio is growing at a rate of about 100,000 average active sessions per month (AAS is similar to Arbitron’s Average Quarter Hour and represents the average number of active sessions at any point during the day). As of early 2012, Internet radio had some 1.6 million AAS and is projected to reach 3 million AAS by 2015—representing 10% of radio’s total audience.Paul Maloney (2012). Radio and Internet Newsletter

Nowadays it is possible to develop a DT because there is a lot of digital information allocated in different systems. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have allowed the installation of sensors in isolated areas, where previously infeasible, thanks to the low energy consumption of the ultra-narrow band (UNB) based IoT devices. But UNB is only one of the communication technologies available today. Among the set of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), data can be retrieved by multiple means, including wired or wireless communications, such as internet, radio, etc. However, this information, in order to be useful, must be filtered, normalized and properly integrated, so a big data platform is necessary to develop a DT.
