Giant of Internet Radio Nears Its 'Last Stand'
Pandora, Other Webcasters Struggle Under High Song Fees

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Pandora is one of the nation's most popular Web radio
services, with about 1 million listeners daily. Its Music Genome Project
allows customers to create stations tailored to their own tastes. It is one
of
the 10 most popular applications for Apple's iPhone and attracts 40,000 new
customers a day.
Yet the burgeoning company may be on the verge of collapse, according to its
founder, and so may be others like it.
"We're approaching a pull-the-plug kind of decision," said Tim Westergren,
who
founded Pandora. "This is like a last stand for webcasting."
