I think that one starts as a money play where the younger folks prefer streaming and satellite radio. They’re simply not into, and certainly not used to, lugging around CDs, cassettes, or 8 tracks.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the car companies get a slice out of every satellite subscription sold or stream to a car.

Once such an infrastructure is in place, it’s a natural tendency for a totalitarian governments to take advantage of it for surveillance purposes.

Given the way the economy is going, I bet younguns are more into it now.

And it looks like FEMA didn't put a stop to it.

From MTG's office, yesterday...

I think that is highly likely. I have a 14+ year old car that came with 6 months free Satellite radio. When the freebee ran out, I paid $300 for a lifetime subscription. At this point, I have paid about $1.75 per month for the service. There is not much of profit for SirusXM or the car company...
