Sirius XM vs. Pandora/Internet Radio: Apples and Oranges?

Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) has many competitors. In this series of articles, first of which was Sirius XM vs. HD Radio, I look to find which competitors are valid and which are fiction. I was going to write individually about Pandora (NYSE: P), Spotify and I Heart Radio, but I decided there is no point. In 6 months I'd have to talk about another start up or existing internet service that is going to "crush Sirius XM". So in lieu of rewriting this article every 2 weeks, I have decided to just include all internet services in this comparision. First we must clearly define what this segment of the competition offers.
