Answer the question. If so, why isn't XM's total net sub counts
beating Sirius again?


Do you understand that XM's not having a higher net sub count has
nothing to do with stern? It has to do with churn. XM has been
outselling sirius. XM has also been losing more subs than sirius. But
one important fact is the, even with the stern effect, more new
satellite radio subscribers chose to go with the company that didn't
have stern.


They they realized that Stern was at the other company and churned XM.



The numbers certainly don't bear that out, as I already mentioned in this very
thread.
