Be interested to know where it has come from.
As well as geo-blocking stations outside the UK on the excellent site Radio Garden https://radio.garden/ another barrier to running your own streaming station is about to be implemented, this time by the browser companies.
Shortly they will not allow addresses of the form e.g. http://123.45.67.89/stream.mp3 all sites will require a security certificate and have the prefix https:// note the "s".
In order to get a certificate (which can be obtained free) you will need a domain on the DNS register so your stream will have to be, for example, https://example.com/stream.mp3 in other words, paid hosting for a hosting company that supports Icecast or Shoutcast server software. This raises the cost and will be out of reach or not worth the bother for many small stations.
