Royalty Negotiations Drag On

David Oxenford, representing a small group of internet broadcasters, reports on the latest negotiations between the group he represents (Small Commerical Webcasters) and SoundExchange. Without stating it directly Oxenford makes it clear that negotiations over new royalty rates and related issues are going slowly and will require action by Congress.
