Oh,...My! WiFi In My Bye-Bye!

[Scooter Lesley]

Wellllllll,.....now this here seriously Pees in some Big Cereal Bowls! Oh,...My! WiFi In My Bye-Bye,...but WHY?

One's own Automobile to have it all, WiFi on the Fly,....and HOW!

I'm sure that there is still some Bugs on the Connectivity table, but it all smacks of Fees, and do we dare say that the Progression smacks of Internet Radio, meaning a various.....Corny-coe-pee-ya.....to listen to. Someone say it ain't so,...while Someone else Dance in place, and Testify!

OK,...Y'all have at it! Wha-chee Think?

Where have you been? This has been on the drawing board and discussed ad nauseum for years. Yes, it will happen, no matter how hard anyone screams and stammers and demands to be drug back into the past. The good news is that consumers want their traditional, over-the-air stations to be accessible in the car as well. And by the way, some people are also right now at this very moment listening to content in their cars via their mobile device! Oh my stars and garters!

This has been in the works since the beginning of automotive telematics.

Content providers must go to where the consumers are. Not where you wish they were or where they were 25 years ago.

However, Scooter is still living in 1989.

Dudley,...You Boob! I am quite aware of all that is happening. I just deemed it necessary to increase the Pucker Factor. Things are getting tighter by the day.
So many non-repetitive choices....& pre-recorded too. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm? What shall I listen to?

There is a Corny-coe-pee-ya of stuff to listen to. Radio, TuneIn, Pandora, and many others. And Satellite. This is not 1999 when the only choices we had were radio, CD and cassette.

Sirius has been available in cars for 13 years. 100 channels of commercial free music. Do you have a subscription?

The only thing repetitive is your negative, myopic drivel.

Things are NOT getting "tighter by the day." There are more and more oportunities to distribute content outside and away from over the air broadcast band. Stream it? Sure. Choose an aggregator or build your own app. Time delay? Grab a podcast. No radio handy? Choose a phone or wifi device, whichever works for you. Heck, at least one station you can WATCH the videos simulcast with their on-air programming.

No sir, only small minded people and those stuck in a mindset where radio is only AM/FM can conclude things are getting "tighter."

Losing audience to Pandora or a pure-play? Fix your content and make it MORE compelling.

Or, you can sit in your stained and stretched to the max sweatpants and pontificate how much better vinyl records are in an era of million-cut digital libraries on a 1/2" chip. Choice is yours.

I am still completely satisfied with such over the air radio, CD, and cassette. And even in this digital age, rabbit ears still have relevance. Even though fewer folks seem to appreciate that. With an antenna in the attic, I get radio and TV signals from Asheville, GSP, and Charlotte. But I will admit that internet streaming can play a role with reception of distant out of market stations. But I still want to see antenna reception preserved without more localized interfefence, which seems to develop more and more each day.
