Following US rival Sprint’s earlier launch of streaming audio channels from Sirius and Music Choice, Cingular says its subscribers can now listen to 40 channels of streaming content for $7 a month plus traffic fees.
While 40 channels is nothing to sniff at, the cost could be, unless subscribers stump up the $20 per month for unlimited data. I’m also skeptical — still — that users will take to rather generic streams over which they’ve got no control and that don’t have any interactivity or personalization, or, at the very least, the ability to skip songs.
Wireless Week also had an article a bit ago analyzing carriers’ radio offerings, wondering if their price fulfilled their value proposition.
