I don't have any sort of data plan when I can listen to streaming audio whilst on the road, and it would probably be cheaper to have a physical scanner with me at all times, than a computer with Shoutcast and line-in and whatever back home. I don't mind driving around the city in my free time looking for the sh*t hitting the fan, but windows rolled down listening for sirens doesn't always cut it. Plus 'stealing' bandwidth from someone's unsecured router to upload things doesn't appeal to me all that much. Maybe I'll look into this Tweeting stuff, see if I can get breaking news stuff on my phone. God, I don't want to be a Tweeter... I have a dislike for social networking sites as it is.
