Exactly how much does XMSR "pay" GM for the privilege of each install into a GM vehicle? This is a Subscriber Acquisition Cost and since it is the "major" XMSR SAC cost it should, but is not included in the SAC. XM does not want to account for the lame or unused installs because they shun that toward a hardware cost, nor does XM adequately represent the churn for these specific GM installs. It is very difficult to determine the specifics of the GM install and its significance on SAC. If you have concisely figured it out, please enlighten. It is like the old saying.. Statistics and numbers don't lie, but accountants and statisticians do. I concede to some of what you have mentioned, but SIRI SAC vs. XMSR SAC is not apples to apples, it is apples to oranges. Both companies manipulate the data to placate analysts.
