Re: no more satellite radio competition, why not tv?

Satellite radio has much more competition from far more independent sources that DBS has. And unlike satellite radio, DBS is highly profitable and leads their industry in content, price and service.

As far as mobile competition, they again can't be compared because of the cost of movies and the listening/watching patterns of people.

In general, you will listen to the same song over and over and over again while there are few if any individual movies you will watch that many times. So for the $1 you may pay for a song, you get far more value and it's far more competitive than an $8-$15 DVD you may watch a few times.
