There is the matter of the radio station or whatever keeping its 
options open so it doesn't get screwed by the vendor. I'm sure Virgin 
Radio has figured this one out. 

Surely the cost of streams is in proportion to the number of users, if 
the software is free beer?

As for .wma being the most popular, that's probably due to tight OS 
integration and the fact that so many users just have what came with 
the machine when they bought it. It's up to broadcasters to recommend 
better quality and performance formats if they want competitive 
advantage.
 
Cheers
