Ed,
There is also a monthly fee that will most likely go
up over time - like your cable fee.
I would suggest you don't get it for several reasons.
The main one being that we need all the local radio we
can get. More and more local radio is going with
national programming - Imus, Howard Stern etc.
We need local outlets for local views.
As you travel the country everything is becoming the
same. Look at all the malls.
Also, the US public is dying the death of 1,000 cuts.
Take a look a bankruptcies - they will rise. People
are paying for so many small items that are making
them poor. - Cable TV, mobile phones, satellite radio,
home security monitoring.
People lived withouth these things in the past; but
now they are "necissities".
I'm anwwering more than you asked because I just read
an article in the New York Times about a couple who
are in their late 50's who can pay their child's
college tuition. The earn a total of 250,000. Now
the mother had do close her business and the father
had the job he was working on move to Fla. I doubt
they can afford to retire.
Recently I attained a level of wealth I never thought
I would. I grew up without much.
How did I do it? It wasn't from any one big thing.
It was from not being bled to death - financially.
I'm rambling so I'll end here.
PS - I have cable - no cell phone
