Free radio network and pmr446

I've been asked about  free radio network and if it's worth using,let me just say i don't think it's worth using it,all i'm going to say is that it's not real radio,anything you connect to the internet has nothing to do with radio,just like music stations on the net that they call radio stations,how can they be radio stations if they are coming through the net ? If we want radio to survive then we must not encourage websites like free radio network,echolink and others,keep radio the way it is,there is a growing trend to stream repeaters and such over the net,i think that is a good thing because it can bring people into radio,but i don't think making things like that two way helps radio as people will never go out a buy a radio and get into it.
