I can only speculate... one would have to imagine that if the music companies cracked down internet-wide, sure... people would probably pick a service and subscribe. If there were no more free, you would have to pay or pirate and most people don't have the know how to pirate.Quote:

Personally, I am more worried about them then anyone else.Quote:

Relmor.....
Do I see some sarcasm here? LOL
Actually, HD is making some moves, but IMO not enough to differentiate itself from satellite. Tried Pandora. It is okay. I realy like Slacker, and liten to it quite a bit.
This sector has many competitors, and they will all vie for our ears. Better to know what is out there than to ignore it.
So I may not be fallowing here but from what I read today you guys feel SIRI is doomed from slacker and pandora.... I must ask why you are invested in the company then?

agreed...audio ads need to go!!! Everytime one starts...dogs begin howling!!!
Tyler/Charles
Don't be like SXM...listen to your subscribers...kill the audio ads!!!!
Charles/Tyler
do you think that SXM can acheive 30M subscribers in the next 5 years...autos will return...DTV cross promos will happen...Iphone will add some subs...especially if Verizon gets its own Iphone from apple...I think that there is room for all of the current players to grow...Does SXM need to become more innovative...hell ya they do...but in the end...content is still king...SXM will become Positive Cash Flow by middle of 2010 at the latest!IMHO
Yes, I know. I guess that's my point. The advertisers are paying for these impressions all over the net. I'm saying I think it's a matter of time before companies realize they aren't getting the results from internet advertising they think they're getting. For example, on siriusbuzz, I do not look at any of the ads. How many people on this board are looking at the ads? I'd be curious to hear what others say. Perhaps this partially explains why Yahoo is having trouble. Maybe there's not enough biz coming from companies to advertise on the internet to support Google and Yahoo anymore, so the weaker one dies.Quote:
