i was looking at the msn direct page today and they have this deal below....i think thats cheap for the remaning of the service..until they pull the plug on it..just tought i share this with you guys

Service until January 1st, 2012 for $29.95

Extends all the MSN Direct services you’ve come to depend on during your free trial until January 1st. 2012 for only $29.95 + tax. Cancellation available within 90 days of purchase.

Great find! Too bad it is running out, but it is probably worth it if you get it soon. $15 a year basically. That aint bad at all.

so whats gonna happen after? how would we get Live Traffic Updates? and so on..?

We don't know yet. There will be something, we will have to wait and see.
