Radio Is Doomed - Tear Down the Broadcast Towers

Just to add a little more. Adelstein is quoting Marky's, Democratic Rep. from MA, 6 year freeze on pricing and 25 % Spectrum set aside. Along with a few other details not yet revealed, in addition to what is already in circulation.

Radio Is Doomed - Tear Down the Broadcast Towers

oregonduck.....a little brief on the details, and as we all know the devil is definitely in the details Adelstein is spouting out for the "Yes" vote. Might as well take my first born too! Granted it sets a limit for the deal to get done and puts tremendous pressure on Tate to do the right thing in aligning herself with her Republican Members, but short of that, Adelstein's concessions should be a deal breaker for me as an investor.

The Future of Radio Is Online

Gino....thank you for your comments. I hope our investment in Sirius is well placed and gives us a return x 3 for what we are being put through with the FCC delays. The evolution of technology, with Sirius not being the only stop along the way, is a statement that still dismisses the potential NOW for Satellite Radio. As much as you believe Internet Radio will be the Dominant force very, very, soon, you still haven't answered my questions about how, at what cost, who is subsidizing the radios, what OEM's are factory installing these devices, under what company will they be launched, etc. Your writing an article which right now is Science Fiction. Although I know full well that Science Fiction "Can" become fact, until you or someone can come up with the answers to the questions....your living in the land of "What If"

Plowboy....Please, before you even bother, spare me your lament that you are a satellite radio subscriber or investor. I would not want you in my foxhole, given the posts I've read from you defending Sirius.

The Future of Radio Is Online

Plowboy......I didn't think anyone was giving Gino shit. Obviously in his comments, neither did he. It's a debate about internet radio. More importantly it's an article that is tell readers that Satellite Radio is not going to be the top gun in the auto media market within five years. Conveniently this comes when satellite is being beaten up by NAB. So if you think that this article, and the author is doing satellite radio any favors by saying terrestrial radio is going to be dead and Internet Radio with be "Top Gun" your being foolish. This article is a ridiculous introduction of a technology, that the author himself admits, has no viable business plan. Excuse me, but Satellite Radio is soon to be "King of the Road" regardless of all this bullshit talk about Internet Radio. It doesn't exist in autos as a viable technology currently: PERIOD. I am currently heavily invested in SIRIUS and will defend this Company to anyone. It's my Company. It exists now. It provides consumers with a tremendous option to Terrestrial Radio. So EXCUSE MEEEE!!!!! For giving the author a F--cking Hard Time. Show me the BEEF or Shut the fup!

Bruce B......every median has a niche, local broadcasting is fine with certain demographics in certain areas of the country, where local radio exists. This is a big country geographically and satellite gets there where folks are starving for content. What your talking about is more of that home town "folksy feeling" that is lost on the national platform. So what. It's a choice. Most people know where the Hardware Store is and Know that there's a special going on at Pop's because of all the litter in their mail box. Local advertisers will keep your local radio station alive. This is an apples and oranges discussion.

M...Lassoff....you of all people must have this information, being VP and Managing Director of IBG, Internet Broadcasting Group.

M...Lassoff I'm not saying the technology might not be there in the future but at what cost? Make your case, show us the numbers. Chrysler will have all models with on board internet. I'd love to read the announcement, please provide the link...

The Future of Radio Is Online

WoW-WTF? 3G cellular service is not free....now we're getting somewhere. At what cost? Where are the auto maker deals? Whose going to subsidize the units? Just because the technology is there, maybe, can you build it so they will come?

correction: ....you can't put Wind Towers up

The Future of Radio Is Online

"I predict Internet radio will be the top gun withing 5 years".

Huge prediction using a dozen words without anything to back it up. I have no problem dealing with this being a reality but how? at what cost? who's going to subsidize it? what's the business model? how do you get nationwide coverage?

Aside from Satellite Radio, (because of the satellites), cell phones are the next best solution for coverage of signal. I am not sure but, data is a problem with satellites which is why broadband internet is still a Cable Company competitive advantage. You can put Wind Towers up but you think their going to let enough land line equipment be put up nationwide for internet radio. You can put one up right next to your campsite in the middle of nowhere.

FCC Decision on Sirius/XM Merger May Be as Late as May - Stifel

Yuriko, I thought you said you got out of this stock a week ago, why are you still posting. Old habits hard to break. Give me a break with your weak postings!

FCC Decision on Sirius/XM Merger May Be as Late as May - Stifel

163888, I am in total agreement with your comment. That Stifel allows an analyst to make this seemingly predictive comment at this time is ridiculous. Anyone can see the date of the next FCC open meeting by going to the FCC's website.

I don't understand why all these "Johnny-Come-Lately" analysts need to voice their suppositions at this point in the FCC process. Do they think they are being helpful, or are they just trying to get involved before the big announcement. This would allow them to lay claim to their "Sixth Sense" abilities. Quite frankley, I am sick of their naive attempts to fool the uninformed. Fully invested beleivers in these companies already realize their tremendous growth potential.

These comments do little but shake out the last of the weary. "Jump out now before it's to late."... they might Say. "Save the "Shorts" by being a stupid long"... might be another thought, as has already been said by many.

Fear not my friends. The waiting game is coming to an end. The FCC will decide, in spite of itself, and be left with passing on the DOJ decision, with minor restrictions in their license.

Hang in there and Hang LONG!!!
