As a mode of transmission, satellite radio seems better than internet
radio, because
1. Satellite radio already reaches cars, homes, and people on the
street, whereas internet radio is, for all practical purposes, only at
home and work.

2. Internet radio requires the user buy a computer (high upfront
expense and maintenance, and a tremendous learning curve and source of
headaches) and have an internet account (relatively high ongoing
expense), unlike with satellite radio.

I have both. If I could have only one or the other, I'd pick internet
radio (for its enormous content), but if the same content were on both,
I'd pick satellite radio.  Only if satellite radio greatly expands it's
content does it have a chance to succeed.  Both XM and Sirius seem, at
first glance, to have a lot of content, but, even within each company,
there's a lot of redundancy.
