I do. I will surf the web in a pinch but, a phone isn't really suitable browser. Even if it were, the data transfer is minimal compared to radio listening. Same thing with video, I am not watching a...

From what I understand, customers with unlimited plans will be grandfathered in.

Also, the base data plan allows for 40+ hours of radio. Which, from what I remember, is 30 hours more than most...

Their customer service is laughable. It absolutely blows my mind. I can't believe how many customers Sirius XM has and it only makes me mad that they could already have twice as many subscribers if...

Again you deflect.

1. Why? They can't afford the servers? How can that be? There is no barrier. To limit your traffic because you can't handle it is the worst move you can make as a company.

2. I have never heard of...

I take the time to listen and be respectful to answer each and every one of the points you make and even make note when I agree. Yet you continue to treat myself and others like we are trash. I feel...

It is relevant because they said a company/service like Soap.com could not be viable. All of the industry leaders tried and failed just like you are saying these radio guys are saying there is no way...

Lets assume that is true. Does their ad based model, at that rate, warrant a $100 billion valuation?



I never said Sirius XM should go freemium. I don't even think Pandoras freemium model makes...

Those numbers seem sensationalized to me. Is that 100 million worldwide? If so, that leaves a huge untapped market.

No one wants to search all over the place for a bunch of hack niche stations. I...

They were estimated to hit $1 Billion this year.... it is not BILLIONS, with an S. Does that justify a $100 Billion valuation?

Prior to the last couple of years they made zero dollars from...

I don't want to compare the models, I never said I did. I am simply stating that Google had no business model when it started. It had no ads. It made no money. Not only did Google figure it out, they...

And yet there is a less of a barrier for me to create a search engine. This is my point exactly. Barrier to entry is a red herring.



More importantly, blogtalkradio and your nephews radio...

Agreed but... so what? No one (relatively) listens to Blogtalkradio. Again, there is a huge barrier to create something worth listening to.

There is zero barrier for me to create a search engine....

They don't own it but, they do have good deals in place to broadcast music at a reasonable rate (better than sirius xm's). Those deals are a barrier to entry. Getting the rights to broadcast music is...

Anyone can do it, not everyone can make it compelling enough to listen to. The barrier to create quality programming that people actually listen to is very high. Good content is expensive but, you...
