Pandora has been the standard for internet radio since it launched in 2000, and just announced the appointment of new CEO Brian McAndrews (http://www.forbes.com/sites/connieguglielmo/2013/09/11/pandora-names-former-aquantivemicrosoft-exec-brian-mcandrews-as-ceo/). They claim they're not worried about Apple, but iTunes' massive user base (575 million), content deals, and cheaper pricing options should give them legitimate reason for concern (http://technologyadvice.com/why-itunes-radio-could-take-down-pandora/). Can Pandora survive iTunes Radio? Do a-la-carte options like Spotify make any internet radio service irrelevant?"
