That's not it. It just costs money to operate. No one has made a cent with it so everyone has basically given up. They haven't shut them off yet but It's all easy filler now that no one needs to get paid to produce. All but the car radios came out to early and the manufactures didn't sell them and pulled the plug. The car radios came along too late and there are probably now quite a few but everyone else has lost a boat load. It was just a bad design, a poorly planned strategy and horrible timing and it's probably to late to revive.
