>> i pay for the dish network and they are running a promotion now where you can listen to 10 channels of SIRI radio for 'free'. As far as I'm aware this doesn't represent a signficant revenue stream for Sirius. I think they've probably gotten a few subs out of it, but I don't think this is a huge source. One of my problems with Sirius is that they have had to give away the store in many respects to get their feet on the ground. It HAS worked. But where XM now has Internet streaming as a revenue source, Sirius doesn't. XM continues to believe that premium channels will generate revenue, whereas Sirius seems to be headed down the one-fee-for-all-services road. I like the XM model better, myself. Bandwidth has become an issue for both services, and the amount of ADDITIONAL content they can add is somewhat limited unless they want to do away with existing stuff.
