So WHO else provides satellite radio in the US? Is the DOJ on drugs?? Or perhaps just the same old story of political power and money!

Surprised to see that from a Mass resident.

Content is king ! Where you get it doesn't matter. Not only do I have sat radio in my car I have net streaming radio from my evdo phone , its mp3 library , and ipod a cd/dvd player and even ewww gasp terrestrial radio !

 With the content you have a good case. But, it is the cost of hardware that is an issue. I see that they will make us make us upgrade our hardware if we want certain content. And then upgrade or not- they can raise their prices and fees (like every other service provider w/ no direct competition).

Say I don't like the price of XM/Sir anymore.... but I still want certain programming a certain way.... now I have to go spend x amount of $$ on some other device or software.

I guess my point is all these government regulators don't care about the consumer. They only care about if they are going to elected next.
