"The next decade or more will be a transitional time, as radio, like
newspapers and television networks, forswears allegiance to any one
means of distribution and declares itself platform-agnostic. Those media
that, like the record industry, cling to old technology and a collapsed
business model will see their futures crumble before their eyes."

Sad, isn't it Eduardo? Big Radio has destroyed what once was a viable
medium.


As more of "them thair middle income" folk with disposable income loose
more money and join the ranks of low income, they will not be able to
afford sat radios or much less anything with high enough bandwidth for
audio. Do you realize what most people pay a month of crap? $80 for cable/
sat TV, another $30 for radio and yet again $50 for HS internet!

One does not need this to feed the baby and will be some of the first
things to go on a foreclosure or bankruptcy budget
