In spite of 250 years of taxonomic classification and over 1.2 million species already catalogued in a central database, our results suggest that some 86% of existing species on Earth and 91% of species in the ocean still await description.
The new service won't win anyone over on price. Pandora Premium is anchored to the same $9.99 a month price point of Spotify, with 50 million paid accounts, and Apple Music, which topped 20 million premium users late last year.
In order to continue to provide an ad-free listening option, we are implementing some changes to the way we price Pandora One.. Pandora One is the company's premium version of its steaming radio service. Initially, the service cost $36 per year and then later a $3.99 per month option was added. With this new price hike, Pandora is also getting rid of the annual option. So, users will now only have the pay-per-month option. While Pandora is increasing its price for new users, existing users that stay active can keep paying $3.99 per month. And those annual subscribers that remain active will be migrated to a discounted loyalty price of $3.99 per month with their next renewal.
