Didn't know that! @Ford--true thoughts. My thought was that wireless internet technology is slowly eradicating some of the niche markets. Yeah--XM/Sirius is still preferable to alternatives, but won't be long until better GUI systems exist that dovetail with an EVDO-like service to make a <strong>wider range</strong> of music <strong>more easily navigable.</strong> @Robert–bummer… Didn’t know that!

In my car directly integrated with my radio - no additional laptop, etc needed. Thus I still have a passenger seat for passengers and I'm not distracted by the gear. 2. In my office, where streaming of any media is highly discouraged, it allows me commercial free access to music I can't get over FM. 3. Cheaper than the EVDO service - even with two subscriptions (Car and office) Few reasons:
