from www.siriusbackstage.com. Sorry if this is a repeat of old news. But, it is good news!
Sirius Backstage has learned that Sirius plans on offering an online only subscription called “Sirius Internet Radio Plus”. The service will offer CD-quality sound on the music channels and select talk channels including Howard 100/101 at 48kbps.
The cost will be $12.95 and one can purchase up to 3 additional SIR Plus subscriptions for $6.99. Existing Sirius subscribers can upgrade to SIR Plus for an additional $2.99 a month. The $2.99 is just for one of your ESN’s however, so if you have seperate SIR accounts on each of them you’ll have to pay $2.99 for each to upgrade. As far as we know Sirius does not have any plans to offer channels on the new service that aren’t available via your Sirius receiver.
Sirius subscribers will still be able to listen to the regular internet stream for free. |

| Not bad. What would really be cool is to connect a portable computer (laptop, pda, etc.) in the car with a mobile internet plan from Verizon or Cingular Wireless and then I wouldn't even need a Sirius receiver. And bridges and other obstructions would no longer be a problem. Lots of potential for this type of system. |
