Satellite Radio is also the only current broadcast-type audio that can be had 100% commercial free.
Until we get some sort of universal WiFi system up in cities, that is - then we can use internet radio stations.
Correct. The ‘commercial-free’ statement is very important. It is at the root of this deal. Traditional radio has built a model on advertising that if undone will cause the industry to collapse, radio and advertising agencies. We heard these arguments from traditional media back when cable-tv was beginning. How many people do you know that does not have sat-tv or cable-tv. The NAB is attempting to kill Sat radio in the same manner.
