GM to expand onstar Service to 1 million subscribers BY MICHAEL ELLIS DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Corp. said Tuesday it is in active discussions with other automakers to offer its OnStar communications service on competitors' cars and trucks. continued... sjmercury.com Can GM go it alone? This offering continues to look very hard to believe. Seems expensive and limited, but as the AutoPC has not formed a standard yet even though Microsoft would like us to think so. How much can an AutoPC in it's Internet function be much different from a hand held? Will they try to duplicate the rich graphic format of a desktop? Not likely as they will still be wireless devices with all the restrictions on bandwidth. Can a company like GM ignore WAP? Regards, Mark
