[BC] Our Worst Nightmare - on the way

[W2XJ]

Blackberries and PDAs are becoming very 

common and of course there is the Iphone.  

They all come with unlimited data plans. 

Then there are the devices intended to be 

used for multimedia streaming. This market 

will only grow.  This is especially true in the 

teen and 20 something demo as they are less

interested in using phones for talking as they

are in texting and streaming. My Blackberry 

has a radio streaming application and it plays 

stereo audio. So everything I need is just 

there at no extra charge.    This will be an

 evolutionary process, not revolutionary. 

Smart broadcasters will make sure their 

content has many means of distribution. 

They will also embrace new features available

in the various new technologies and over time 

the entire product and possibly the whole 

business model will change.

But Rich, how much are you paying, monthly, for that service? About $80?
Until it becomes *free* (or close to it) it's not *yet* Our Worst Nightmare... but
yes, it IS gaining!
