To: [email protected] Cc: Yahoo Group NASWA <[email protected]> And if it kills car radio, where does that leave AM & FM terrestrial radio? Home and office users already have lots of options. Lots of 3G dead zones are an impediment right now. 73, Curt W4CP Raleigh, NC USA NYT: 'Will The Internet Kill Car Radio?' May 7, 2010: The New York Times' John R. Quain speculates today on whether the Internet will be the death of radio in the car, saying that "there is a new movement afoot that could really threaten traditional broadcast radio: Internet music services like Pandora, Slacker, and Last.fm." (Last.fm is part of the CBS Interactive Music Group.) The "devices responsible for this trend," says Quain, are smartphones and mobile apps that allow streaming of music services over 3G connections. He notes that companies are solving the distraction problem involved in switching channels or song-skipping by "marrying these services to existing in-car controls, essentially making it no different than switching between 100 WINS and Q104.3." Quain points to an Alpine receiver with "Pandora link" and a Pioneer receiver with voice control for Pandora. In testing the $1,200 Pioneer AVIC X920BT, Quain said the voice control worked well, and writes, "The sound quality, while not equivalent to a CD, was as good as typical radio reception and better than some satellite radio stations." But he did note some limitations, such as dead spots when AT&T's "notoriously patchy" 3G service in New York lost its signal, and to the distractions involved in using a Droid phone, with no custom controls, with the Pioneer device. But he continues, "However, such limitations may soon disappear as automakers integrate streaming Internet services directly into their cars." Quain also notes that "traditional radio broadcasters have heard the drumbeat of mobile apps," pointing to Clear Channel's popular iheartradio. Clear Channel EVP Evan Harrison told Quain, "We're not trying to dictate where people connect to us. We need to be everywhere."
