Radio Is Doomed - Tear Down the Broadcast Towers

JayThomas, you left out the $175 price tag to cancel the contract with their current provider to switch to AT&T. In my case, getting an iPhone would cost me $650.

Reminds me of an Offspring song..."I'm not a trendy a$$#ole..."

Sirius will be king!

Georgetown Partners' Latest Radio Proposal Raises Many Questions

By responding to trolls, you give them the attention they seek.

Food for thought.

The Future of Radio Is Online

I'm sorry but I just can't buy in to the whole Internet Radio being king idea. In my mind, that's like saying Public Access TV will be the next big thing. Niche, niche, niche, wannabe's everywhere, and this will somehow appeal to the masses?

Satellite is where the real talent is gravitating to. Established, well-known DJ's people have been listening to most of their lives (Carol Miller, Jim Kerr, even Cousin Brucie, etc.) have gone to satellite, and popular DJ's are the ones who made FM what it became. You want music without a talk-up by a real human? That's what CD's, mp3's and iPods are for. Yes, Internet Radio will have it's place, but I just don't see the coronation coming in the foreseeable future.

Sirius will be king.

The Future of Radio Is Online

Internet Radio in cars? THOUSANDS of channels?? Turn your car into a Wi-Fi hotspot? What, drivers don't already have enough distractions in their vehicles? Outstanding! Now we'll be able to talk on the phone, text, email, surf the web, and channel surf on the radio, all while doing 70+ mph. Paying attention to what's going on around you is overrated anyway.

Regardless, and quite frankly, CONTENT IS KING as someone else mentioned on another thread. I don't care if you offer me a million channels, crap is still crap, no matter how high it's piled. I haven't listened to FM radio at all since I subscribed to Sirius 3 years ago, and made-to-order Internet radio "stations" are best suited for eclectic musical tastes, a very small niche market at best.

Everyone I know who subscribes to Sirius absolutely raves about the service, and I am (obviously) no exception. It is simply a superior product, and if the goddam government would get out of the way and let the free market work, the results will most certainly bear me out.

Cramer Doesn't Say What Radio Stockholders Want to Hear

If memory serves, it seems to me that no one has ever said that SIRI/XMSR were anything other than SPECULATIVE stocks. For those of you who have no clue what that means, here are a couple of links which may clarify what that means...

Investing in speculative stocks often carries a much greater risk of losing your entire investment than it would investing in already established companies, and name-calling, taunting, accusations of thievery, etc., are absolutely pointless and completely unfounded.

Tyler, Stan, et. al., while admittedly being on the proverbial "sunny side" of the speculative street, merely attempt to keep us informed of the comings and goings relating to these companies, and offer their opinions regarding such happenings. I have never seen them claim to be anything other than writers covering the sector.

In short, IMHO, if you have no money invested in these stocks and are merely here to stir the pot, I suggest that you are a miserable human being and need to find something more productive to do with your time. Otherwise, if you're merely looking for someone to blame for your position losing it's value, you need to look no further than your closest mirror. That's the person who invested in a speculative stock. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, and go find a nice safe annuity somewhere.
