Yet a satellite radio network (XMSR) that might someday generate approximately $480 million in annual revenues (and currently costs approx. $550 million per year to operate) has a better chance to become self-sustaining? How will total annual operating costs decrease as subscriber numbers continue to increase? Are there significant 'start-up' costs in that $550 annual operating expense that 'went away' and won't be a part of future annual operating expenses? If so, what were those non-recurring cost items?
