Initially Streamit brought its Lukas product to the marketplace to fill the void left by the loss of the "multi-listener conference call" so-called "church radio" in the Netherlands. This was a service offered by the Dutch telecom company, that allowed multiple listeners to hear church sermons through the phone system.

[edit] Receiving MP3 stream through dial-up
In addition the Lukas product range includes the ability to listen to MP3 audio through a dial-up connection.
Although discussion about dial-up connections seem a bit out of place in 2006, the truth is that the world will never be fully connected using broadband. There will always be large parts of the world that will continue to use dial-up services for years to come. For commercial reason, there are simply places where the phone or cable companies will never install wires or fiber.
These markets are served only by dial-up providers and the Streamit Lukas product can be used, in conjunction with a dial-up Internet Service account, to listed to MP3 radio stations from around the country or around the world.
