Yep I remember when TV was free...then came cable with promises of commercial free (because after all we ARE paying to have it) superior programing....well now I got 100 plus chanels of not much on ...but I get PLEANTY of commercials and still get the pleasure of paying big $$$ for the privilage...I view Sat radio as the same thing Promises of commercial free have (obviously) gone by the way side and yet you get to pay to have it...and you have buy the equipment too....if I want commercials I have a good sterio in my truck, car, and home...if I don't I have Cd's, vinal, tape, and MP3's...all of which play EXACTLY what I want to hear!!...because I program them...just me but I'm too cheap to pay the extra price...And I know there IS programing that you CAN'T get anywhere else...Howard Stern, and so on...but frankly I predict it will go the way of cable...then you'll just be paying for regular comercial broadcasts littered with comercials and the price will continue to go up and so on amd so on...pretty soon it will be a $40.00 per month charge to hear "40 min of commercial free music"..."More commercial free music than any other station" blahh blahh blahh
