> Stern going with Sirius instead of XM.

Stern had every intention of going with XM. Remember all of his
promoting of XM and all the live read XM spots he did? It was always
about XM and never once would he name drop Sirius. Tom and the
station never got mad when he was constantly mentioning XM either.

Something in the deal went sour, and XM decided to hurt him by putting
on Opie and Anthony, and thus his quick decision and announcement in
perfect timing with the debut of Opie and Anthony on XM.

Stern is making a stupid decision based on anger and emotions, rather
than on rational thinking.

His only hope, is that Sirius is out of business by the time 15 months
go by, which is very likely.

XM is going to do the best they ever had this Christmas season with
sales of the Roady2, SkiFi2, and MyFi radios. Sirius has nothing
this Christmas to compete with.

By next Christmas it will be too late, XM will do to Sirrius what VHS
did to BETA.

THIS is the Christmas that will finally bring XM as the winner with no
turning back.

That sounds like what was said when Dish was fighting DirectTV in the
early days - "without NFL exclusive football package Dish Network will
die". Dish is still here and a very strong competitor. Hopefully
Sirius will still be around. Without them, XM can raise their prices
to skyhigh levels (little by little) because there would be no
competition. Without a competitor they might not have even tried to
get "Opie and Anthony". Why bother improving service if you have a
monopoly.
