Pandora Limiting Free Mobile Listening To 40 Hours Per Month
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.

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...

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.
