It was mentioned on some panels, and several others talked about how they used to fly over to the states or listen to US online streams to learn what was new, and they don't feel they have to do so any longer. While American non-radio companies like Google, Pandora, Facebook, MySpace, and eBay all came up regularly, few are looking to America for radio-centric innovation.... ... Europe is working to manage and control the Infinite Dial, instead of having it work upon them. They are making change, and indeed there is much that American broadcasters can learn from them." That's coming from an American, so there's hope yet. Perhaps. There’s an interesting comment from Larry Rosin of Edison Media on the Infinite Dial website:
