yeah, sure, that's what people said when cable tv first came out : " who's gonna pay for tv when we can get it for free ? "
Chasing Amy also said " The vast majority of people will never pay for it, and the relatively small number of adopters will not be enough to support the whole network with its tech upkeep, royalty payments, and all. " You are partially correct, majority of the people won't pay for it.
BUT, it only takes less than 5 million subscribers for XM to make real profit ! that is less than 2% of the US population. I bet that there will be more than 1 in every 10 people who would love to pay $10/month for better music,commercial free, better sound and more news channels. 10% of the population is, 25 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS !!!
Do some real research b4 you open your smart mouth next time, son.
