Where do you get that number? Here's what it says at
http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/broadcast.html: 

"We do not charge royalties for mp3 streaming or mp3 broadcasting 
(e.g. Internet Radio) until the end of the year 2000. Beyond this date we
anticipate to charge a small annual minimum and a percentage of
revenue. However, this model is not yet fully developed because we cannot
yet oversee where this new market is going."

I did see them mention a 15k minimum for selling downloads.

I will switch to Vorbis anyway, I'm sure :) Just curious what's really
going on.
