Sirius To Offer "Online Only" Subscription

www.siriusbackstage.com posted this article:

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.
EDIT: Sirius subscribers will still be able to listen to the regular internet stream for free.
