Default Info button useless now, unless I pay $$

Is the "Info" button subsidized by the satellite companies? After your free three month subscription has expired and you press it an ad to subscribe to Sirius traffic(in the US) is what you get. I have a lifetime subscription to Sirius and can transfer it just one time to a "built in" radio. That alone stinks. But I have to pay extra to make that button work again?!
Is this the same in Europe?
What else can this button do now?

I havent ever seen sirius working so dont know what it does for you. In the UK and Europe the INFO button gives free traffic information which comes from FM radio broadcasts, you can chose nationwide info or only the route of your sat nav.

In the US, you can subscribe to either the Siruius radio and data, or just data if you want the info button to work.
