I don't think that's new. I believe you could do that before. You couldn't listen to Howard or his channels. Two things had to be worked out.

1) Bandwidth and servers to withstand the huge demand and to live up to quality standards.

2) Security - one could give his password to kids or friends and they all could be listening online. This will change with a system that has been developed apparently just for this type of situation. One subscription = one online at a time.

One thing I hadn't thought about is that there is some significant demand for the Stern show in the military and overseas. Presumably, one could now listen online. Howard often has military people, who complain that they cannot get the show. There may also be a push to attract subscribers from England, Israel, and parts of South America.

In any event, analysts are going to gradually realize what many of us have posted for months that this is a sea change for SIRI and all positive.
