To date, the number of vehicles that have had XM as "standard equipment" has been exceptionally small. Also, in the case of the Hondas, I believe it is correct to say that XM's out of pocket expenditure for these installs is minimal.

But, you just said that, and I quote, "I don't know of any that got a "FREE" radio.

Maybe you should stay more abreast of the operations of this company?

FREE RADIOS, FREE SERVICE.. Still no customers, everyone said that the service would sell itself.

<i?> The 46% who try it for free, as I've pointed out, didn't want it, didn't ask for it, and may never even turn it on. That's an unfortunate fact.

I thought you said no one has tried it for FREE? If they paid $200 to $600 for a radio as you suggest. You would think that they would have tried it out? No?

There are no "lifetimers" at XM -

My mistake, I was WRONG!

I had heard the FTC complaint related to rebate practices. Have you heard differently?

The Federal Trade Commission is investigating XM Satellite Radio’s marketing practices to see if it has violated the Can-Spam Act and/or the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the satellite radio company said in an official filing last week.
“[O]n April 25, 2006, we received a letter from the Federal Trade Commission stating that they are conducting an inquiry into whether our activities are in compliance with various acts, including the FTC Act, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the Truth in Lending Act and the Can-Spam Act,” the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company said the FTC requested information about a variety of its marketing activities, including free trial periods, rebates, telemarketing activities, billing and customer complaints.
