The cell phone stream service costs $2.99 per month for interactive service and an additional 99 cents per month for streaming. It is presently available for Cingular service only, but they hope to add Sprint and Verizon soon. It appears that you haev to pruchase the 2>99 interactive service to get the 99 cent stream service.


I can see an initial interest in the cell stream but then the cost will start to get in the way again, just liek satellite radio.

Oh, that is going to break the bank ! Satellite Radio stocks are up, and the future is bright ! HD Radio will never take off - it's a dead horse ! HD Radios are outrageously priced - iBiquity gets part of that pie, plus the outrageous up-front and yearly licensing fees to stations !
