  • SIRIously Positive Quarterly Auto Sales [View article]
    I'm a little confused about how SIRIUS XM calculated the "music royalty fee". If PANDORA, i believe will only charge $1.00 to its "heavy users" How did SIRUIS XM calculate that each subscriber should pay $1.85...or a $.99 for addititional devices on account? We already pay $12.95 and up... They agreed to not raise prices for 3 years...but it seems they have the right to add increases and just put "titles" on the increase and call it a fee. I am a subscriber and not complaining, but...I would hate to see them get the FCC upset at them for breaking promises. Also, Mel Karmazin during merger hearings repeatedly said how they would add A La Carte options to help customers save money. Now, a year later...All that is available is the Stratus 5 and upcoming STRATUS 6? Their engineers can't figure out a way to make all radios A la carte? Or, why arent all new devices..ie SKYDOCK...not made to support A La Carte...I find it hard to believe that the iphone/ipod touch wasnt able to be designed to support A la Carte services.....Being Greedy for a high ARPU is very dangerous, especially in touch economic times...If they are smart...they will promote the STRATUS 6 as much as the overpriced SKYDOCK....More people want an affordable alternative than a +$350.00 satelite radio....which is what a Ipod touch with SKY DOCK will be.....(skydock + iphone/ipod touch).
    I still cant understand how this SKYDOCK at $119.00 is a good deal for ipod/iphone users....If they want SIRIUS XM, they could buy a stand alone dock and play for less and get more features and probably a neater installation....We will see...
