And it will require a monthly/annual OnStar subscription, like the Ford SYNC technology is discussing a move to.

 

You could be right. I am just so "subscriptioned" out!

 

I want all this stuff - my email and calendar and files in the cloud; my car connected to the net; my house connected to the net; controlling my house and my car from my phone. How cool is that!?! What I don't necessarily want, as our3rotts says, is having to pay monthly for my house, car, refrigerator, circular saw, etc., to be on the net. There is no free lunch, however.

oh, I don't expect everything for free, I'm just fed up with companies finding ways to nickel & dime you when the things you're already subscribed to (or have paid to own) have already made them a boatload of money.

Really - I can't have a family data plan, I have to pay for 2 smartphone data plans, when both of them together don't get near the "unlimited" number of bytes. I can only have 3 devices on my Rhapsody to Go plan, and have to pay another $15 to add 3 more devices, rather than $5 for the 1 more I would need?

 

I hear you, but the money you've already paid is past revenue. The extra nickel & dime (or $5 or $10 a month) is revenue growth. These companies are all about revenue growth.
