Many people listen to music using Internet radio. Pandora is probably one of the easiest to use and it's customizable, which allows you to build your own radio station online. Right now there's a big fuss about the XM/Sirius satellite radio merger. But Clark says, "Who cares?" After all, you have to pay about $12/month for satellite radio! He understands why long-distance truck drivers and other motorists in rural areas would want satellite radio. But when Clark flies on an airline that offers satellite radio, he can't find anything that he likes! There's just trashy content like Howard Stern. Clark thinks the shock jock was more interesting when he had FCC limitations and you had to use your imagination with what he said. Now there are no limits and the content is just not as compelling.

Clark just loves that we have so much choice; that's why he's not upset about the possible monopoly merger in the satellite radio world. We have MP3 music players, Internet radio and HD Radio, to name a few of the choices. If you're not familiar with HD Radio, it allows you to get multiple channels of music on a given frequency for free in your local market. Meanwhile, Apple is looking at selling iPods that will cost more and come with unlimited music. This business model was first explored by Nokia. The bottom line is that the major record labels failed to set up their Berlin Wall around music. They created a marketplace where people simply steal what they want. As far as the Apple deal goes, all the big labels will likely be on board with their entire catalogs for the life of the iPod device. You'll also be able to download a certain number of songs and use them as you wish.
