'Pandora On The Go' Demo
October 24, 2007
The Senate Commerce Committee was treated to a snippet of a song by legendary crooner Ella Fitzgerald at a future of radio hearing on Wednesday. During his testimony, the founder of online music service Pandora demonstrated a mobile streaming application that his firm rolled out earlier this year.
Lawmakers seemed to be pretty impressed with Tim Westergren's "Pandora On The Go" service, which works with a handful of Sprint handsets. The offering is free for 30 days, then costs $2.99 per month.
At the start of the hearing, Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., admitted that she did not know what Pandora is or what it does. Now, at least she has a bit of an idea. Read more about the hearing in Technology Daily's PM Edition.
