I'm not quite sure why we can't have industry-wide precise and accurate live metrics for online radio listening, it would be quite feasible.

If two people are listening to the same online stream for an hour then RAJAR will count that as two hours and the BBC will count that as one. I would imagine that most online listening is 1 listener:1 stream with people sat in front of their computers but as internet radios are becoming more prevalent it would seem viable that several people could be listening to one radio set in the corner of the room.

Since the 2.2% figure relates to the UK only, that would assume that the reported internet radio figures now appear even lower.
