JPEG - STATE OF THE ARTSatellite Radio Extends Its OrbitBy DAVID POGUERADIO is awesome, isn't it? It's free, it's on whenever you want it,and you can choose from among eight or 10 stations. About the onlypeople who could possibly complain about it, in fact, are people whohave to listen to it.They'll tell you that the music you hear on the radio is mostly thesame cloying pop junk, played over and over. That 20 minutes of everyhour is ads, played over and over. And that as you drive, the signalcomes and goes with the territory.Two years ago, two companies -- XM and Sirius -- came up with the samesolution: pay radio. Each went to the trouble of blasting privatesatellites into orbit. Each beams 100 channels of clean, static-proofdigital sound down to XM and Sirius receivers in the cars and homestereos of monthly subscribers.So why would people pay for radio, when they have a free alternative?Because satellite radio is fantastic -- a cultural source unlike anyother. It's so addictive, the Sirius manual actually refers to itscustomers as "users."http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/18/technology/circuits/18stat.html
