Satellite Radio provider XM Canada has shut down its XM Radio Online 
(XMRO) service. XMRO was a free-to-subscribers streaming music service 
that allowed XM Canada subscribers to listen to their favorite satellite 
radio stations on the web or on their smartphone.

On its website, XM Canada says it is cancelling the XMRO service to 
better serve its customers. However, on the same page XM tells customers 
they can't have XMRO anymore, XM solicits subscribers to sign up for it 
higher bitrate XM online+ service.

XM Online+ costs between $2.99 and $7.99 a month.

Sirius Canada still offers its higher bitrate Sirius Online music 
service at no additional charge, reports Canada's DigitalHome.

The Internet is the future of free broadcasting... RIIIIGHT!
