Long as J.C.Penny and or other companies are pushing them pay to listen
to "radios" they should pay people to have the "radios" and Dockers or
whatever else and throw in a free ten year subscription for them commie
"radio" paperweights.

In the first place, it's about the size of a Philips Cassette box.
Second, it comes activated for 3 months.

And third, it's XM so who cares.

Kinda like how nearly every radio in the world is a paperweight
without a "subscription" to AC power or a "subscription" to
batteries!

Better fewer subscriptions than more, no? If you like subscribing to
things, please send me a check for 20 dollars every month and I'll sign
you up for my newsletter.

Advertising is insulting. I prefer to pay a few bucks for the
opportunity to not be insulted so much.

So does my monthly newsletter, which I'll make available to you at
the
special, one-time rate of a mere $20 a month. Don't be left behind!!
Subscribe today!!

Again, only if it has content that (1) I'm interested in and (2) that
I can't get anywhere else.

Again, what is the content?

Jim

As I mentioned in a previous post, I try to shape my newsletter around
the interests of my readers. Just tell me what you're interested in,
and you've got it. Plain and simple. We want to make sure you get your
$20 worth every single month!

Steve

Again, what is the content?

I can state without reservation that you can get content from XM you
can't get any other place. 65 or so channels of commercial free music
that simply are not available anywhere else. A lot of which you
couldn't walk into your local music store and buy if you wanted to.

In addition, you can't get the talk or sports or news content from any
other source while you're driving down the highway.

This is just closed-mindedness. It'll cost you $100 to try it for 3
months. If you don't like it sell the receiver and dockers on ebay and
get your money back. Geez. Don't be a tightwad.

I can guarantee you that it will be a better value than satellite
radio. I mean, how many other newsletters out there offer to tailor
themselves to your interests?

Don't be left behind!! Subscribe today!!

The following is not directed to anyone in particular - it's just my view
of
the XM/Sirius subscription-based "radio".

Does XM/Sirius have an "All Tony Joe White" Channel? Doubtful.

I have an uncontrollable urge to dig out my old "Poke Salad Annie" 45.

Thank you! ;)

In some cities, already, that answer is YES! So keep this in mind....whether a
wireless internet infrastucture with the same service area as a satellite-based
network can be built as cost-effectively(?) as satellite distribution remains to
be seen, though.

It has actually been going on for a long time.'

This is different. XM's Roady2 is now available at Amazon for $49.

What's different? XM's subscriber numbers have reached a point where
they can build the radios cheaply enough that they can give them away
(or nearly so) without it costing an arm and a leg. In the past, when
either company (mostly Sirius, but occasionally XM) offered any kind of
promotion, they were taking substantial losses on them.

Today, XM can do this and come out on if the average subscriber sticks
with them for only a few months. Sirius is in a tougher spot, because
to get their hardware priced competitively with XM's, they have to take
a loss of about $60-80/unit beyond XM's loss.

NO sane person would ever subscribe to them pay to listen to satellite
"radios" They are not even real Radios at all.Any brand new two bit
Radio from a Goodwill thrift store is much better than any of them pay
to listen to "radios" They look like something I would expect to see in
the toy bins along with the barbie dolls and other toys.If I ever see
one of those in the Goodwill thrift store (I am going there this
afternoon at about 1:00 PM) I am going to kick it all the way across the

It actually doesn't cost me anything, since my employer pays for it.
But even if it did, it would still be a vastly better value than
satellite radio. Wireless internet is good for all kinds of things,
whether it's email, downloading files, surfing the web, etc. It also
makes available vastly more of *everything* that satellite radio has to

True. But you can also do a lot more with it. It would be nice if they had
other options other than monthly. Like cell phones, pay as you go with

Plus, a quick way to start an argument among audiophiles
is to compare mp3's, AAC and satellite radio to CD's in
terms of sonic quality. That's almost as good as the digital
vs. analog arguments they tend to have.
