As I pointed out, Pandora on Squeezenetwork and the iPhone is both
ad-free and subscription fee free.  These outlets don't create any
revenue yet they still have to pay the licensing/royalty fees.  Hence,
giving something away and getting nothing in return.

Remember that the service hasn't had a single profitable year.  So it
doesn't matter if the fee is 8/100th or 19/100th of a cent per song,
without some rain the well is gonna run dry eventually.  The fee hike
only hastens the process.

In all likelihood they have a plan to leverage the market share they're
currently building into some sort of positive cash flow.  They might be
able to pull it off, but they might not.  A doubling of expenses
certainly cuts the time they have available to figure it out.

I am a happy user of the service (even paid the $36 for an annual
subscription) and I hope it survives.
