DEBRIEF

Links for the Sirius & XM Radio merger provided by the two compans.
Both contractually promise the continuation of service (particuarly XM
radio) to exisiting customers with lower prices and expanded features.
Satellite radios offered by SIRIUS and XM Radio now have rarely been
lower -- with rebates & half price discounts.

No radio purchase is required for the internet radio contract of either
XM Radio or SIRIUS. XM Radio offers only broadband internet service.
Sirius offers a service starting 'free' with radio subscription or
internet radio standing alone which sers a 34 kbs connection with a
Windows Media Player 6.

XM customers are guaranteed service for the life of their radios (or
paying contract).

A special note about 'subscription' radio's monthly fee --- the fee is
reduced in a yearly contract, and SIRIUS has offered a lifetime contract
for several years which is now about $480.00 for a lifetime service
contract.

These are the reasons evidently, pricing and consumer deprivation or
hardship have not been paramount among the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) public comments.

A third link, Rush2112 references a USB satellite radio interface for
$60 which joins existing Sirius radio car tuners. (No interest in any
sales there -- just a further notation of the products adaptability.)
These work with Stilletto radios with like the IPOD USB interface.

DogStarRadio - taking its site name from the meaning of SIRIUS (The Dog
Star) is a third party site featuring expaned SIRIUS schedule access
with the Inside Sirius Alliance.

This blogger, once again is a SIRIUS customer and favors the merger for
better resources use by the two companies. Satellite radiois 'part' of
radio broadcasting, like satellite TV is part of TV broadcasting; and
anti-trust remedies and FCC reversal or re-regulation exist as
possibilities should market or public policy require it.
