[cr-india] Cellphone-based community radio

[Andrea Tazzari]

Hi Gora,
Thanks for your observation.
I have circulate your message in our developer's team.
Actually the sound quality it's more close to a AM broadcast than a FM 
this because we are streaming in mono and in very low bandwith (1Kbs/sec 
circa) in order to keep up the connection.
With this speed the connection it's very stable and I have very few 
interruptions even when I'm travel with a bike or in car.
I've tested all around Auroville, Pondicherry and Chennai and I'm very 
happy with the results.
I have a connection @ 199 Rs/monts (unlimited traffic) with BSNL.
Soon I'll increase the band-with in order to test with a better sound 
quality.
Regards.

Andrea Tazzari
