Satellite Radio in Fiscal Trouble
prostoalex writes "It looks like Sirius Satellite Radio is going through its worse times. From the same article XM Satellite does not seem to be doing well either, even with 200K customers. Will it signify the end of the satellite radio?"
XM will benefit from a sort of compulsory adoption by way of GM installing XM radios in upwards of 20 models of it's vehicles The important quote here...
Leading manufacturers such as Sony, Alpine and Pioneer will offer a broad array of XM radios including models that will easily enable any existing car stereo system to receive XM service (the Pioneer Universal Receiver and the Sony Plug-and-Play) and over 20 models of new AM/FM/XM systems offering many other great features. General Motors this month rolled out factory-installed Delphi-Delco XM radios in Cadillac DeVille and Seville models, and will expand to more than 20 GM models next year.
Oh, and satan^H^H^H^H^H ClearChannel is an investor in XM. Seriously, read the previous link. The article neglected to disclose when ClearChannel and Microsoft were to merge into MegaCorp, Inc. and implant the chips in our brains, but I'll let you know if I find out a date.
