Have a listen to this short bit from the Pandora folks. Why would you pay for Satellite radio when you can stream a custom station through your home network via WiFi, and via 2g or 3g in the car? I've found new music this way, so that argument is dead, too.

It's not just satellite radio, either - other than for local news/weather, terrestrial radio is doomed as well. I think talk radio will move towards live streaming as well - it'll allow the hosts to cut out a whole range of middlemen whose value is rapidly approaching zero.
