While I was looking at the comments to my last post, Jen said something that encouraged me to post. Actually, it was Billy that said it, Jen was just quoting. What did he say you ask? He said something to the effect of, why would I want to pay for radio? If you want the exact quote, check the comments to my last post. To Billy, I say, "Dude, don't speak so soon!" A few years back, I remember a lot of people saying, "now why would I want to pay for TV?" Last time I checked, Billy is the proud owner of a Satellite system that unless he has one of those illegal smart cards, he is paying for TV. He is also paying for TiVo, either on a monthly basis or he already paid for the lifetime subscription. Now why would anyone pay a monthly fee to record TV??? Hmmm. My point in this is not to rip my friend Billy. I really can't since I pay for satellite and TiVo. Heck, I even pay for XM. Satellite radio is well worth it. I can listen to the same station anywhere in North America and some reports say I can listen anywhere in the world. The message is this, be careful because in the future, you never know what you might end up paying for that was once free. Remember when the ATM was free?
Yes, uhmm... I have heard this argument before. I figured being able to listen to the same radio station anywhere would appeal to someone who drove all the time (and to OHIO, where radio coverage can be sucky at best).
ReplyDeleteJust wait, in a couple of years we'll have satellite radio.
And, I'm not saying anything that may incriminate me, but... We did not pay to have satellite for a good couple of years. It does drive me bonkers that I have to PAY to get local channels, though. Oh well!
