If you take the example of Pandora, its subscription revenue is peanuts. Most of what it gets is from advertising. But I guess Google demonstrates there's nothing wrong with that, so long as what Pandora gets continues to grow.
Personally, I think, the subscription model is DOA. Many people suffer from monthly subscription fatigue, and it's a tough sell to get people to pay for something when there exist similar and free alternatives. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90703 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
