>From a cost perspective I think it is obvious why the ad based model can't be applied to SN as how are you going to get the pop up adverts? it simply wouldn't work. What I don't understand is given that the ad based system is available outside the US why then is the subscription based system is not. Surely it makes no difference to the RIAA who Pandora is funded just that the appropriate fees are paid. I know that strictly speaking that you have to be a US citizen to listen to Pandora in any mode but who is the postcode field really trying to fool Do you not think when the RIAA realise that the majority of the users are from 90210 that they will become suspicious. -- mattybain "After intensive investigation (comma) of the markings on the alien pod (comma) it has become clear (comma) to me (comma) that we are dealing (comma) with a species of awesome intellect (colon)."
