		Adherence to AFTRA rates could be a boost to ad insertion, but the mounting confusion is a set back for Internet radio.
		AFTRA's Web site states that a "producer may initiate Internet use for an initial term of one year for not less than 300 percent of the applicable session" for radio spots initially created for broadcast.
		The maze of rights and payment issues that has been created by the AFTRA regulations is likely to cause many streamers to look toward ad insertion as a way to bypass the confusion.
