    I hope your happy, that now I have taken my station's licensing OUT of the United States to be able to broadcast IN the United states ! You people in government are really stupid and should be fired ! You have no idea how to respect your own people ! You'd rather give OUR hard earned tax dollars to people in other countries who hate our guts ! And you wonder why people are voting for Trump ! Smarten up ! Take care of your own people for a change !

    PERSONAL FEELING OF RAISING RATES THAT HIGH YOU MUST BE TRYING TO FORCE EVERYONE OFF LISTENING TO INTERNET RADIO, THE PEOPLE THAT RUN THE RADIO STATIONS ARE NOT MILLIONAIRES. MANY DO THIS AS A HOBBY AND LIVE ON FIXED INCOMES. THEY ARE NOT MAKING MONEY, THEY DO IT FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC.

    I am an artist and songwriter. Small podcasts and streaming programs that benefit independent artists need low cost royalty fees. They generate interest for marginal music and work mostly on volunteer work. Make multi-million dollar streamers pay more on a sliding scale. Bert

    Small broadcasters/webcasters aren't making money off Artists. Generally speaking - they lose money broadcasting. Royalty rates for Artists (whom we all love & support) should be fair & proportional to how much money is actually being made (or - not made) from broadcasting their work. A few huge streaming services are raking in profits - & not paying Artists fair compensation - while the new royalty rates are choking out small broad/webcasters. This isn't fair - it isn't right - & it benefits no one - not the Artist, the Webcasters, nor we the Listeners.

    It does not benefit anyone, especially the license-holders, to destroy all the royalty-paying internet radio stations.

    As a musician, I rely on small internet radio. They will be hurt by the higher rates.
