I'm in the backwoods hinterlands - otherwise known as the Canadian 
office of a US company - so....   :-)

Network _has_ been sluggish the past week-and-a bit... which 
kinda coincides with the number of World-Cup soccer matches 
I see in the corner of people's screens around the office. 

As for me, I don't watch sports, and I haven't bothered with 
a radio (small market, no station that plays what I might 
want to hear all day), but I'm going to steer clear of any 
kind of streaming media. I'd rather not be seen as part of 
the problem when they crack down. 

Now, if we'd just get some cellular provider competition 
here, and an affordable price for a wide-open data connection,
I could do the internet radio thing with no conflict.  

Or....  satellite?  Anybody have satellite radio going all 
day?  Costs?   I too would look for something musical 
(therefore, not rap...), non-annoying, and not demanding 
for my background.  Baroque sounds like a possibility, 
or classical guitar, or instrumental jazz (except the the 
really austere, bleeding-edge stuff).  If it has lyrics, 
it's either too annnoying or too engaging, neither of which 
is a good fit for work.
