Pandora caps free mobile listening at 40 hours per month, blames licensing costs | The Verge

I don't think I've ever listened more than that in a month myself. I could see it affecting some people who use it in their car a lot, etc. Does this bother anyone?

That's more than enough for me. There are a few other free applications also available on the market for that purpose.

I quit using Pandora back when they starting putting limits and commercials in for the free account

Plenty for me, I do use it but don't have it streaming all day long. I don't mind the commercials, I mean, it is a free app/service...

I have had friends that reach that pretty quickly. You know engineering college students who listen to it while doing homework...

If I use it 2 hours a month, I'm lucky.

create more accounts.. if you reach 40.

but reaching 40 is not easy

I don't use it myself (have an account, haven't signed in in ages), but wouldn't 40 hours/month start bumping data caps? I know that Virgin Mobile throttles after 2.5gb/month.

Some people still have unlimited data, or you can use Wi-Fi, but my Pandora still works even after I've been throttled. Actually, that's when I use it the most because I don't have to think about how much data in using lol.

This is going to hit me I'm afraid. Listen to it a lot.
