> How exactly will the Squeezebox->SlimServer->SqueezeNetwork connection

SlimServer should work as kind of proxy who's requesting the information  
 from SQN. In fact that's already the case today for most of the radio  
stations: when you browse eg. Shoutcast, SlimServer will fetch the list of  
stations from SQN, which does the hard job collecting and filtering that  
information. But it has to do it only once every x minutes for all users.

Pandora and probably other SQN only services can be used without switching  
server.

While this might be the option for those who want to switch between  
servers (for failover scenarios or whatever), the plan is to have SQN  
integrated to the point where you don't need to switch to SQN anymore for  
all it's additional services.
