Speaking from what perhaps many will regard as a money grabbing, commercial point of view, which we at Techno-Vision Systems Ltd naturally are, I see the biggest potential market as people, young or old, who quite simply do not want to get into using a PC, but just want to listen to broadcasts from their own country. Heck! In Northampton alone there are an estimated 15,000 Polish people who have moved here in the last couple of years. Go to almost any major city in the U.K. and there are sure to be huge clusters of foreign nationals who also want to hear radio from their own country. Now as I see it, what manufacturers of this kind of equipment need to do, is take a lesson from the GPS system manufacturers. Was speech so difficult to add? Did it help their sales? It wasn't difficult, and it did. And you can now buy a talking in-car GPS for about £100. Three years ago it cost me almost £900 for one for my wife. So perhaps it won't be too long before the Internet radio guys finally catch up!
