*First price is for Chaincast like Technology.  Second price is for Unicast Technology.  Chaincast Technology uses the Station's Listener PC & Bandwidth to forward the broadcast to other listeners as a proxy server. Many consider the use of this technology fundamentally wrong although its use is not currently illegal or prohibited in the United States of America.
