What are the current subscriber numbers for each system and what
were they 1 year ago?
And this might have escaped your attention, but do you not think
that the satellite companies merging might just be slightly more to
do with the fact that if they're not competing with one another they
don't have to duplicate lots and lots of stations, so the total
bandwidth can be used to provide a wider range of stations, thus
making satellite radio a far more attractive proposition to
consumers in the upcoming fight against terrestrial digital radio.
or is it as you said and it's ALL about Howard Stern?
It would have never happened without Stern.
Ridiculous.
Or should I say, it would
have been XM buying out Sirius if not for Stern, not the other way
around.
Which bit of "merger of equals" don't you understand?
Yeah, you're the smart one, so you're probably right.
Thank you.
Republican.
