Greetings Shinluchu: I did numerous research on your query last night
and discovered a few snippets - I decided to begin fresh this morning.
So far, the most comprehensive and quotable news information on the
history of Internet radio is located at
http://www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/~mm/socbytes/feb2001/Feb2001_14.htm and is
titled "Webcast - A Concise History and Analysis Specific to Radio
Broadcasting" by P. Sinclair, J. Anderson, P. Cruikshank
This lengthy paper goes in-depth citing a solid history of Internet
radio broadcasting. Also, the authors list live links to their
sources which I believe you will find valuable to your research.
In addition, BBC News at
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/entertainment/tv_and_radio/1172050.stm
offers in a piece written by Mark Ward:
"The history of broadcasting on the internet, be it of music, video,
world events or fashion shows is a short one.
"Radio took 30 years to reach an audience of 50 million people, TV
took 13 years, but the internet has taken only four [NOTE: article
published in 2001]. Now the total net population is about 410 million
people worldwide.
"In 1995 the first audio was streamed over the internet."
I located other sources which mentioned basically the same brief info
