Not at all. I'm looking at it the way you have to -- revenue AND expenses.
Let's review shall we..
SIRI is the better known brand as a result of them dropping a billion dollars on Stern. Still, it is inarguably the most idiotic business decision in the industry's short history and one on which SIRI has zero chance of ever breaking even.

Or another
Why, of course it is. Sirius has burned nearly 400M on the Stern Publicity Stunt in the last year, and will burn another 500M-600M in the coming 4 years. That made news -- two years ago.

And more
What did the addition of Stern do to the bottom line? In '06, the total increase in SIRI's loss due to Stern was probably $500-600 Million ($372 Million was paid directly to Stern, but there are obviously other substantial expenses to service these subs which, for some reason, you think should be ignored). Now, some portion of that should be recovered in future years, but it is entirely possible they will pay Stern $150M or more in '07 and who knows for the other 3 years.

Sure, Sure, Sure You have been balanced. Lots of talking about Revenues on your part.
You are speaking out both sides of your mouth, in effect, taking the Siriot point of view -- get subs at ANY cost. Which is totally inconsistent with your previous view that it is costing these companies too much to acquire subs given the churn.
LOL!! Boy.. You are all over the place. Now, when you are unable to debate the subject.. You now attempt to play the SIRIUS vs. XM card. Like I have stated before.. I think they are paying too much for subscriber for the pitance of ARPU generated.
I am at least balanced in my viewpoints, while you only attempt to stoke the SIRIUS vs. XM fire with you baseless comments presented as FACT that are nothing more than one poo BITTER SOULS biased opinions.
