Car Makers Offer Satellite Radio
from the like-cable-for-your-car dept
I first heard about this several months ago, but now apparently, some of the big car makers are going to support new satellite radio schemes in cars that they sell. It's an interesting concept: you pay about $10 a month and get CD quality radio beamed to your car with no commercials. Part of me thinks it's actually pretty cool (this from someone who never listens to the radio), while part of me thinks it's destined to fail. Both might be true.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

I love it I love it.
In my ideal world, there'd be only one radio station, and it'd know exactly what I wanted to hear at that exact moment... which brings me to another point, with all of this nifty one-to-one streaming media, why hasn't anyone figured out how to just send me what i want?
