Hey, you get what you pay for with free stuff. You can spend $9.99/mo and get your pick of 100 channels, or pay nothing and get Britney/Backstreet Boys ad nauseum.
And actually... now that I'm thinking about it, is there a guarantee that this new "service" will be free? You can bet that if the RIAA and Co. had their way, they'd make you pay for that analog signal, if only they could track who was listening to it. With a digital system, tracking usage (and billing for it) isn't that hard. One would simply need to delete your radio's serial number from an authorized user's list until you pay up.

| With digital they can turn you off and on if it is high tech enough just as the can with the satellite service if you don't pay your monthly fee. |

No. I've already heard that song a thousand times.
Oh, and hey, news flash folks! Radio != music! There's other stuff on there (especially on XM) you know! Although some people think that's for "them college edjucated types" |
