For $5/mo you don't have any commercial interruptions, and as far as I can tell there's no limitation on the number of stations. What's more, you get the better streaming quality -- limited to 192kbs. What they do, they do well. I know nothing about the technical effort and cost of running a streaming service. I was hoping someone could enlighten me with an easy to understand answer that explains why Pandora has decided to limit itself.

Isn't the Premium service $9.99/month?

Three levels. Free. $5/mo. And $10/mo.
It looks like both pay plans are limited to 192k. The $10 plan gets you, among other things, more search access without having to listen to a commercial.
Ah, OK.
Now I'm getting (like 2-ears) curious about how internet radio and streaming work. Technology, licensing, royalties and all.
I see lots of interesting comments in this thread and took a look at his original post in Digital Drive.
Cheers!
